Short version:

I've been reading Mike Tyson's autobiography and his take and description on the rape trial is quite interesting. He didn't rape the girl, she was just a gold-digging whore who was very financially motivated to cry rape. Some feminist laws came and fucked him too. It's very unlikely that he would have actually done time were he to have an actually good legal defence team.

How he finally got sentenced is best summarised: (Mike Tyson writing): As far as I’m concerned, Mark Shaw had it right when he said in his book. “To his dismay [the criminal justice system] hit Tyson with a pro- prosecution judge, prosecutors who may have withheld critical evidence, a borderline incompetent trial defense attorney whose bumbling defense may have been more responsible for the guilty verdict than everything else combined and a jury that paid more attention to Tyson’s bad- boy public image than to the incompleteness of the case’s facts. Garrison’s best achievement at trial was his strategy in successfully presenting Desiree Washington as the shy, inexperienced, naïve, prim and proper college student that they in fact knew her not to be. Utilizing the full protection of the rape shield law, and fully aware that Washington had in fact signed an agreement to sue Tyson and sell her movie and book rights, the prosecutors, who were also aware of Washington’s questionable sexual past, and her need for therapy, made certain that the jury never saw any indication that Washington was anything other than a church- going goody two- shoes.”

The "Rape shield" law, which the judge presiding over the case actually helped establish earlier in her career is a law that means the defendant is not allowed to present the "victim's" sexual past as evidence. So Desiree being a gigantic whore becomes a non-issue. fuck ay? I guess these are the types of laws that have come into play to make rape such a legal clusterfuck for men.

Mike Tyson had a shit lawyer because of his shit manager. Were Mike a bit more responsible at that time of his life with legal stuff this shit never would have happened.

Hope you learn a thing or two for any of you guys who, like me, were curious. I recommend you read the biography, it's fucking amazing, oh and Mike fucks loads of girls before going to prison, ironic enough for you? He's sort of red pill, but without any of the emotional stoicism and with an inconceivably high SMV.
