According to charges, the September 2010 incident involved Mayweather hitting the mother of his children in front of them, and then later threatening to beat them as well.
He later reached a plea deal where he would plead guilty to a misdemeanor and no contest to two harassment charges.

Via TMZ: “Floyd was sentenced to six months in jail, but three months of that sentence was suspended. He also gets three days credit for time he has already served.”

As part of the plea deal he reached with prosecutors, Mayweather was sentenced to serve six months in jail; however, three months of that sentence has been suspended.

He will also need to complete 100 hours of community service, pay a $2,500 fine, and attend a year-long program for domestic violence.

Buju Banton — whose real name is Mark Anthony Myrie — should have been brought to trial before 70 days. This is a right guaranteed under the Sixth Amendment.

The media report states that the government may have violated the Speedy Trial Act. The act refers to one of the rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution to defendants in criminal proceedings. The right to a speedy trial, guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment, is intended to make sure that defendants are not subjected to unreasonably lengthy incarceration prior to a fair trial.

In judging speedy trial claims, the US Supreme Court has developed a four-part test that considers the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the defendant’s assertion of his right to a speedy trial, and the prejudice to the defendant.

Violations of the act, such as where the state has failed to bring the case to trial for an ‘unreasonable’ length of time, may be a cause for dismissal of a criminal case.
