If Floyd Mayweather Jr. was facing those domestic violence and related criminal charges in Brooklyn, he and his attorney most likely would have an escape route from a jail sentence.
Kings County Criminal Court, through the Safehorizon program, offers a Domestic Violence Accountability Program which gives male defendants in such battering case a case disposition other than an extended stay on Rikers Island or getting shipped to an upstate prison.
DVAP is the acornym and it “offers a fully developed curriculum of information about men’s violence against women in our society and how to end it.
“The curriculum also provides information about the historical, social and cultural aspects of domestic violence with emphasis on accountability and personal choice.
“…Participants attend a weekly 75 minute class for six months (16 sessions) as specified by the court. DVAP provides compliance reports to the court for each participant.”
Clark County, Nevada, surely has similar diversion programs and I bet Mayweather will wind up in one. His arraignment is Nov. 9, four days before Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito square off.
In the meantime and in between time, I offer up “Karceno4Life” from Youtube in a less than spirited defense of Mayweather.
Basically, this self proclaimed Mayweather pal labels Baby Mama Josie Harris a lousy housekeeper and a goldigging rhymes with witch.
In other words, the old Blame The Victim defense or, as Don King like to say, making “the victim the victimizer.”
Oh, yeah, and the cops in Vegas have an agenda against Floyd, don’t overlook that.
Your thoughts please?
