    Nothing to worry about, even if Tyson goes to jail it won't be long.

    "You can trust a brother, Mike! See this briefcase? Look at all these wads of hundred dollar bills in here!"

    Yup, the trademark King M.O. ;)

    Seriously - what Mike needs is help. If he can get it in jail then good, but I don't know if that will be happening or not.

    The US justice system is BS. This is a waste of time and Mike doesnt deserve such a long sentance for substance abuse. If this is for DUI why not send him to rehab?

    I was thinking it's a shame aswell. Tyson is responsible for his actions, but I can't help think that if it was any other well-known person, or anyone else for that matter, they would not be punished as severely as Tyson is likely to be!

    If I'm honest, I fear for Mike if he does get a lengthy sentence. As Mike once said, prison doesn't rehabilitate, it dehabilitates you!

    Just when it seemed Mike was content, getting his life in order, this type of thing happens. If Mike has remained clean since being caught with drugs, I hope this goes in his favour.

    I'm not hopeful of the jury/judge showing any mercy though, as it's Tyson being prosecuted.

    If it is a dui, i know a person that just got popped for the third (i believe) time and this person has to drive with one of those things you have to blow into before your car will start. Was it drugs or booze? Whatever, its a shame:verysad

    He doesn't have a daddy who owns a string of hotels so he has to do a proper sentence.

    Let us not beat around the bush. Tyson is a **** up. Prison is one way of TRYING to sort him out. He is mentally unstable, a sex pest, a drunk, a druggy etc etc etc

    A great boxer but a person who needs help is a person who needs help. Doesn't matter if he is a prophet.

    Unfortunately, I agree. In all honesty, prison might be a better alternative for Mike right now than freedom. If he's going to get coked up and then drive erratically, putting the lives of others in danger, I'd rather him be in prison.

    I'd love to see him make a turnaround and become an analyst one day. He'd be great at that, if he could keep himself together.

    If mike pleaded guilty there has to have had a plea bargain somewhere along the line which says he will probably get re-hab and long term probation with random drug testing. You just don't plead guilty unless there has been a
    pre-arangement as to the sentence.

    Thats about 50% of planet earth mate may be even more. He needs help not a jail cell. What use does it serve to put him away for 4 years for DUI? When he comes he`ll still be the same person only more bitter.Jail doesnt rehab anyone.

    Exactly. Lindsay Lohan violated her PROBATION by basically carjacking a truck with three black guys inside, chasing a employee down the street. When one guy tried to get out, she ran over his foot. When the cops finally pulled her over they found she was drunk AGAIN and had coccaine in her purse and Lohan claimed it was the black guys who were driving. Imagine if Tyson got caught doing this exact crime.

    Hell, maybe he just shouldve gotten caught on tape pissing on 16 yr olds. Nobody is in a hurry to put R Kelly in prison. Thats somebody i can admit needs to go b4 Tyson.
