Valero arrested for murdering his wife!

[ArtOfWar]

Given Valero’s psychological issues and also his apparent closeness to Venezuelan president Chavez, do you think there is a chance that Valero could get a minimum term on the basis of pleading insanity, or even claiming self defence? That is where I can see this going from here.

I'm not trying to be insensitive, but I don't think it matters now. Our interest in Valero is down to the fact that he is/was a top class boxer. His career is now over, and this case will become just another statistic.

Another Ike Ibeabuchi. Like you say, Valero has gone from boxer to prisoner, so once this story dwindles in popularity, it's goodbye.

Well he's dead now anyway.

career over

Big deal. Someone's life has been taken. I think a bit of perspective is needed.

Exactly. I'm not even willing to think "what might have been" with regards to his boxing career. We don't need fighters bringing down the sport.
