Today, professional boxer Jermain Taylor pled guilty in three separate criminal cases.
These pleas are for Taylor shooting his cousin and for threatening a family during a parade in Little Rock.
The prosectors in the case agreed to reduce Taylor’s one count of battery to a Class D felony in the shooting of his cousin and then removed that child enhancement in that case where he threatened that family.
The court has allowed Taylor to start training for another fight while staying with his sister in Little Rock for Christmas.

All of Taylor’s issues started on August 26, 2014 when he was charged with 2 felonies after the cops say he shot his cousin during an altercation at his Little Rock home.
Sometime after his arrest, IBF stripped Taylor of his Middleweight belt which gave the boxes who are numbers one and two to fight for his belt.
