-Mayweather Facing 8 Felony & Misdemeanor Charges Combined-
More charges were added to the list that Floyd Mayweather will be facing, stemming from a domestic violence incident with Mayweather’s former girlfriend, and mother to three of his children, Josie Harris. Mayweather now faces four felony and four misdemeanor charges altogether. If convicted, Mayweather could face up to 34 years in prison.
The charges include two counts of felony coercion with his children, in attempting to get them to not say anything to the police, a felony robbery charge and felony grand larceny charge for the taking of the iPhone from Harris, one misdemeanor domestic battery and three misdemeanor harassment charges.
Mayweather was released following his arrest on $3,000 bail. The new charges that have been added though make this a much more serious situation for Mayweather, his career and his life. The potential to face 34 years in prison is certainly not something that should be looked at lightly.
On November 9th Mayweather will go back to court to face his arraignment, when more will be learned about the charges he faces, what the prosecutors intend to do, and what Mayweather has to say about everything. Mayweather has not made any public comments, but his lawyer Richard Wright has said that Mayweather will be found innocent, and that the truth will come out in court.
This adds to the stream of negative publicity that Mayweather has received already over the past few weeks, stemming for his racist diatribe about Manny Pacquiao that he posted with a video online. That video, childish and provoking as it was, pales in comparison though to the charges he can face here.
