This article i got from nando net its copy written by the Associated
press.
Feel Free to add anything to this post after.
Atlanta (apr 17,1998-16:43 edt)-- James Holyfield, older brother of
Heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, was sentenced Friday to life in
prison for rape, child molestation and other charges.
A fulton Country Superior Court judge sentenced James Holyfield,45,
who was convicted last month of the 1995 rape of a 6-year-old child
visiting his home.
In 1991, he pleaded guilty to the statutory rape of a 12-year-old and
served a year in jail. He was acquitted of another rape charge in
1987.
END
Looks Like the judge did the right thing... i hope James gets raped in
Jail for the Abuse he has inflicted on that poor child. If you ask me
they should warm up the electric chair... spray some no-stick Pam on it,
and fry the bastard... What do you think?

I wonder why he only served one year for the statutory rape of the 12 year old.
Is that customary to do only a year in jail for statutory rape?

Not sure, but keep in mind that statutory rape is merely a technical
rape by statute, and my otherwise not qualify as a rape perse. It need
not, for example, be a forcible act. Therefore, it may have been seen
as a non-violent crime, and the fact is that our prisons are currently
bursting at the seams, and any and all non-violent offenders are being
paroled extremely early in order to make room for the violent offenders.
That at least has been my experience here in the state of Utah. I
imagine it could be worse in other states.

Probably because his brother was a celebrity/millionaire/HW champ. Money
talks bullshit walks. If that was you or anyone else they'd spend at least
three years in the pen.

Your point about statuartory rape is well taken....but only in a general
sense.
In this case, James Holyfield's statuatory rape was of a 12 year
old girl. Wasn't a forceable act? Non-violent crime?
I think not.

In New York, sex with a minor of 12 years that is not a result of forcible
compulsion (the use of, or threatened use (explicit or implicit) force) is
2nd degree rape, a class D felony, punishable by up to 7 years in prison. It
is not considered a violent felony under New York statute.
At age ten the crime bumps up to rape in the first, which also contains
forcible rape. It is a B felony, which can carry a sentence of 25 years, and
is considered a violent felony offense.
In NY at any rate, Mr. Holyfield's previous crime would not be considered
either a forcible act or a violent crime by virtue of his victim's age. In
NY, he'd probably do more than a year, but I doubt by much.
The age cut-offs for rape degrees vary from state to state. I have no clue
(or interest) in what state James Holyfield's conviction on this charge was
in.

Might have been, might not have been; we weren't there. If it was, it was
as despicable act as any human can do. But here's something which isn't
politically correct but which is true - even 12-year-olds have active nerve
endings in the genitalia. And even 12-year-olds get horny. And yes, they
are frequently impressed when older (albeit twisted) adults show social,
romantic, and/or sexual interest in them.
Now, please understand (and this should be self-evident) that I am not
endorsing sex with 12-year-olds. Nor am I saying that in this case, the girl
in question was the aggressor or a willing participant. But to suggest that
no 12-year-old can engage in consensual sex is folly.
The argument can be over whether a child that age can fully appreciate the
ramifications of the act, and we can discuss why a 12-year-old would be
agreeable to it, but those are different matters.

They should fry the basterd. It's obvious the guy is a menace to
society, and why should tax-payers have to flip the bill for this
scumbag's jail stay? We pay billions in taxes every year, and in many
instances we, the people, dont get shit for the tax dollors we pay,
because much of our tax dollors are used, not only on costs of jail
terms of scumbags like JH, but also for jail and prison space occupied
by people who get incarcerated for stupid shit like marijuana, and as a
result, people who shouldnt be on the street get released early because
of jail overcrowding. The system is fucked up, and it's probably a
smokescreen for politicians to funnel some of that $ into thier own
pockets. I trust noone, especially a politician!
My 2 cents worth.

Being that Michael Grant came into the ring dressed like a clown in his last
fight, then I would say that it would be fair to pick on him for awhile.

Hi Dhill:
Did he? I didn't hear anything about that fight except the result.
Please, don't tell me that Grant is wearing one of these absurd outfits
into the ring? I would have given him more credit than that. The jury's
still out on Grant, but with his size, power and athletic ability, he
has the potential to be a real danger to the division. Plus, from all
indications, he's willing to get into the ring with anyone. He's been
lobbying for a Lewis fight for a while now. We can only hope :-P

He (Grant) came into the ring with one of those bodycast they call a
nutprotector, it was probably higher than the one that guy had on that fought
Golota. I felt he could have beaten Izon regardless but I was a little ill
that they allowed him to get away with that. I felt that it took away Izon's
willingness to go to the body. I felt it was a sad thing for Izon to be
fighting a guy 6'5 or so and the only real target he had to shoot for was the
head!!! I predicted that Grant would win that fight, but I certainly don't
like the way he was allowed to get away with that.
>Please, don't tell me that Grant is wearing one of these absurd outfits
>into the ring?
Well it wasn't pink, or poka dotted or anything, but it was kind of absurd to
say the least.
> I would have given him more credit than that.
Before the fight I would have said the very same thing. I just hope that was a
one time only deal.
> The jury's

I agree. He didn't look that great against Izon but nobody looks great all the
time.

I just hope Lewis gets his shot at the top before Grant has his day in the
limelight.
