BREAKING NEWS: Bodybuilders Take Plea Deal in Assistant's Murder

Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan, the bodybuilders accused of killing their assistant, have taken a plea deal. 

The two former professional bodybuilders were scheduled go to trial Monday for the murder of their personal assistant.

Titus has agreed to plead guilty to second degree murder, first degree kidnapping and first degree arson with a sentencing recommendation of 10 to 25 years for the murder charge, 5 to 15 years on the kidnapping charge and 2 to 15 years on the arson charge. The first two sentences will run consecutively.

------------------

The celebrity bodybuilder couple accused of murdering their assistant will save the county the trouble of a trial. Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan finalized a plea deal with prosecutors late Friday afternoon, avoiding a trial set to begin Monday.

The district attorney's office says it's a fair deal. It's one both the victim's family and detectives in the case agree with, because it makes Craig Titus admit to murder and his wife to helping destroy evidence.

"I think both defendants recognize that a train was coming down the tracks and either they resolved it today or we were going to go to a jury trail and leave it up to a jury," said prosecutor Robert Daskas.

With the couple both facing possible life sentences for murder, Titus moved to save his wife.

"As we approached trial, Craig Titus became more and more worried about the exposure his wife was going to have to first degree murder," said Titus' attorney Marc Saggese.

Titus agreed to plead guilty to second degree murder in the death of his live-in assistant Melissa James, along with kidnapping and arson.

"He did accept responsibility and that is evidenced by his entering into a guilty plea," said Saggese.

By admitting to the murder, Ryan was cleared of the charge and given a plea deal of battery with a deadly weapon and first degree arson.

"She was faced with more serious charges -- significantly more serious charges. We feel that this is a fair resolution for her," said Ryan's attorney Michael Cristalli.

She now faces no criminal liability in James' death. But with overwhelming evidence, both had to admit to arson.

"We had strong evidence that they purchased lighter fluid that was used to ultimately light the car with Melissa James in the trunk," said Daskas.

The prosecutor says, while there are unanswered questions about James' murder, details are finally coming out.

"We've always believed, and I think the guilty pleas reflects that there was a confrontation between Kelly and Melissa and that Craig intervened, and ultimately it was Craig Titus that killed Melissa James," said Daskas.

Titus has asked to speak at his sentencing so he can apologize to James' mother, who was once a close friend.

"He has never had an opportunity to talk to her or say he was sorry or to discuss how this unfolded," said Saggese.

Titus faces 15 to 55 years in prison. He has already served two and a half years. Kelly Ryan's attorney says he has asked to argue for probation for her charges.

BREAKING NEWS: Bodybuilders Take Plea Deal in Assistant's Murder

Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan, the bodybuilders accused of killing their assistant, have taken a plea deal. 

The two former professional bodybuilders were scheduled go to trial Monday for the murder of their personal assistant.

Titus has agreed to plead guilty to second degree murder, first degree kidnapping and first degree arson with a sentencing recommendation of 10 to 25 years for the murder charge, 5 to 15 years on the kidnapping charge and 2 to 15 years on the arson charge. The first two sentences will run consecutively.

The details of Ryan's plea are still unknown.


Once stars in the bodybuilding world, they are accused of using a stun gun, drugging and suffocating 28-year-old Melissa James in December of 2005. James burned body was found in a burned out Jaguar belonging to Ryan.

Titus and Ryan, who are married, were arrested in Boston after a nationwide manhunt.

Titus won a 1996 bodybuilding championship and competed in Mr. Olympia events. Ryan is a past Fitness America and Fitness International winner and Fitness Olympia runner-up.

James was a former model and dancer who moved to Las Vegas in 2003 to work with Titus.

Titus has told police James died of a drug overdose and that he burned her body to avoid negative publicity.

How long do you think Kelly will get?  Since she'll probably be back before Dave, you think she'll want the "Squadfather" account?  She could be like the star on NBC's My Name Is Earl and have to edit all of his 26,000 sinful, derogatory posts into devinely-inspired compliments with her new lease on life.  Actually that would have been a good plea for her.

Ryan has agreed to plead guilty to first degree arson, but she only agreed to the charge of battery with a deadly weapon with bodily harm. This means she faces no criminal liability in Melissa James' death. Her attorney said he will argue for probation during her sentencing.

Looks like Craiggers is taking the fall.

I wonder if the details of the real story will ever come out?

I want the "Titus" account!!!   ::)


But lets analyze how much time Titus will REALLY DO;

1) 10 to 25 years for the murder charge, (actual time = 7.5-12.5 years)
2) 5 to 15 years on the kidnapping charge  (actual time = 2.5-7.5 years)
3) and 2 to 15 years on the arson charge. The first two sentences will run consecutively. (actual time= 0 years-----because it runs at the same time as the first two).

Longest possible sentence= 20 years
Shortest possible sentence = 10 years

Minus the time he has already served awaiting trial= 2.5 years

Earliest parole date= 2015
Latest parole date = 2025

Titus was very lucky with that bullshit sentence for second degree murder and arson, in CA. he would have been in for life-no possibility of parole.

Titus is already mid-40's.  I don't think the parole board will let a murderer with a prior record out in less than 15-20 years minimum.  He'll be an old man when he gets out with zero prospects.  He's done.

The MOST he will do is 20 years. That is th most, because of the good behavior rule in state prison sentencing.

No, but she might get 5 years since she's not being hooked up on the murder.  What is the typical time actually served on a 5-year sentence, 3 years?  Gee, she's already served 2.5 years of it.  ::)

Based on Titus's sentence, Ryan will get 8-15 years. She will do half the 15, which leaves 7.5 minus the 2.5 in jail for time served-out in 2013.

Pretty fucking short time for such a horrific and brutal lkilling (OK she did not cop to the murder-but we know she is involved).

Like I said-if they were in CA they would never get out-ever.

In all seriousness I wish both Craig and Kelly well.  And I was honestly moved by what Brenda's interview with Kelly revealed to me about her while she was on the inside.  And Craig?  That fool just lived the dream all the way into the nightmare...just rode it all the way.  Somebody was gonna do it and who better equipped for it than he.  What a ride.  But together they'll go down in history as the quintessential bodybuilding cautionary tale.  Godspeed to them both.

If her attorney thinks he can argue for probation and not get laughed out of court, I can't see 15 being realistic.  (Unless he's just shooting the moon or something).

Kelly Ryan's attorney can argue probation all day long-it is not going to happen. This is a very serious felony- she will not get probation. I am really sort of shocked she got such a good deal under the circumstances. And believe me, she got a good deal.

My guess is 10-15 years in prison-out in half on good behavour. We will know for sure when her plea deal goes public.

There are more foreclosed homes in Vegas than any market besides CA and FL.

With the couple both facing possible life sentences for murder, Titus moved to save his wife. By admitting to the murder, Ryan was cleared of the charge and given a plea deal of battery with a deadly weapon and first degree arson.   


And here you go...  It will be interesting to hear what Craig and others say once this is over on what happened.

Not Guilty? I said no way they would be convicted of first degree murder, and again, if it did go to trail, there would be a chance that a jury would not convict Craig from first degree, but maybe of second degree or manslauter, and same with Kelly. He took a deal that can get him out in 10+ years, and Kelly much, much, much less. He loves Kelly.

Who thinks she'll wait on him to get out?  I say there's a chance she might.  I knew a masseuse that used to lease a little space inside Angel City Fitness in Marina Del Rey back when Craig was still on probation or house arrest or something after he'd gotten out of jail the first time and he said he used to let them sneak in and use his office as a sort of makeshift conjugal visitation spot from time to time even back in the day so they've sorta been doing this routine for as long as they've been together.  Kinda ironic, or maybe not depending on how you look at it.  What can I say?  "It's a love story."   ;D

A book deal?????????


Have you ever heard of the "Son of Sam" laws???????

It prevents people who have been convicted of murder and other serious crimes from profiting off their crimes thru book or movie deals.

All money from such deals would go to the victims, or a victim trust fund.

You got it.



In addition she is going to be in the Big House for some time.

CT is getting a 2-15 rap on the arson (even though it is really zero because it will run concurrently with the other sentences).

I predict Kelly will get the same 2-15 in the Big House. Will serve half the 15 (Cut in half for good behaviour) and take off time already served and she could be out in 4-5 years.

But Ryan is going to be doing some hard time.

Ohhhhh...

1. battery with a deadly weapon
2. first degree arson

And if she isn't guilty in any murder deal, why can't see have a part in a movie or book deal?

In case you have not heard, Melissa is no longer with us. If you are talking about her family, I want for them to have closure. Many people are affected and hurt, from Melissa's family and friends, to Craig and Kelly's family and friends. Their lives will never be the same. 

As for Kelly and her life, guess what. Yes, she will get on with her life, as will everyone else associated and affective by this. But they won't forget. You can't.

I'm sure her family will achieve better closure by the civil suit they file (thus ensuring that the book profits go to the right place).  Johnny V is there a statute of limitations issue in these situations?

Yes, there are time limits, and I am sure the James family have filed suit already.

Usually a civil lawsuit is stayed until a criminal case is 100% over, including all appeals. Since CT and KR are doing a plea there will not be any appeals, which means the civil lawsuit could go forward.

But face it, the only way the James family could get any $$$ at this point would be thru a book or movie deal by the killers-would they want that? I sure wouldn't if I were in their shoes.

I feel very bad for the James family, and I do hope CT comes clean July 18. Don't count on it though.

I think CT is getting off with a light sentence for this crime. We have to wait and see what Kelly gets-but it will be less than CT.

I agree, it is way too light. In CA they would be in for life.

I want the "Titus" account!!!   ::)


But lets analyze how much time Titus will REALLY DO;

1) 10 to 25 years for the murder charge, (actual time = 7.5-12.5 years)
2) 5 to 15 years on the kidnapping charge  (actual time = 2.5-7.5 years)
3) and 2 to 15 years on the arson charge. The first two sentences will run consecutively. (actual time= 0 years-----because it runs at the same time as the first two).

Longest possible sentence= 20 years
Shortest possible sentence = 10 years

Minus the time he has already served awaiting trial= 2.5 years

Earliest parole date= 2015
Latest parole date = 2025

Titus was very lucky with that bullshit sentence for second degree murder and arson, in CA. he would have been in for life-no possibility of parole.

That is why the longest is 20 and the shortest is 10.  The 3rd runs concurrently to the first, and possibly the second.  1 and 2 are consecutive.

The murder and kidnapping are running concesutively-back to back-one after the other, like you said.

The arson charge is the one that will run concurrently-so in effect the arson charge is not going to count (sentencing wise) because it will not add even 1 day to CT's sentence.

Okay, now I'm confused.  The crime of arson as described above includes setting fire to either a structure (house, building, mobile home), or personal property which is occupied by one or more persons.

Now a car certainly qualifies as "personal property", but if the girl was dead before the match was lit, it was not occupied by a person, it was occupied by a corpse.  Unless the definitions section of the law defines "person" to include corpses, I don't see how they have violated the letter of this law.

That is a good point. These two sections are all that applies to FIRST DEGREE arson, which is what KR is supposed to plead to.

I wonder if "structure" could be applied to a car???

A car is certainly covered under third and fourth degree arson though.

http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-205.html#NRS205Sec005

NRS 205.020  Third degree.  A person who willfully and maliciously sets fire to or burns or causes to be burned, or who aids, counsels or procures the burning of:

      1.  Any unoccupied personal property of another which has the value of $25 or more;

      2.  Any unoccupied personal property owned by him in which another person has a legal interest; or

      3.  Any timber, forest, shrubbery, crops, grass, vegetation or other flammable material not his own,

Ê is guilty of arson in the third degree which is a category D felony and shall be punished as provided in NRS 193.130.

      [1911 C&P § 360 1/2; added 1927, 228; A 1943, 181; 1943 NCL § 10309]—(NRS A 1967, 493; 1975, 916; 1979, 329; 1989, 964; 1995, 1214)

      NRS 205.025  Fourth degree.

      1.  A person who willfully and maliciously attempts to set fire to or attempts to burn or to aid, counsel or procure the burning of any of the buildings or property mentioned in NRS 205.010, 205.015 and 205.020, or who commits any act preliminary thereto or in furtherance thereof, is guilty of arson in the fourth degree which is a category D felony and shall be punished as provided in NRS 193.130, and may be further punished by a fine of not more than $5,000.

      2.  In any prosecution under this section the placing or distributing of any inflammable, explosive or combustible material or substance, or any device in any building or property mentioned in NRS 205.010, 205.015 and 205.020, in an arrangement or preparation eventually to set fire to or burn the building or property, or to procure the setting fire to or burning of the building or property, is prima facie evidence of a willful attempt to burn or set on fire the property.

I don't know, but I would bet they killed her before burning the car (and her). I think a good guess is going to be that CT was high on some drug and flipped out on MJ over something not yet made public (stealing? who knows what, could be anything really).

CT had/has some serious anger management issues, and I think that is what is going to be at the bottom of this.

Actually, no.  See bolded text.

The way I'm reading everthing you've posted, it seems to me you can set fire to your own car, so long as it isn't "occupied", and you have sole ownership.

I suppose they could make third degree arson if the car was leased or has a lien on it, but the plain wording of the law doesn't seem to support first degree.  Really, the proper charge for her would be accessory to murder, not arson.

Thanks again to Johnny and Jason for the consec/concurrent clarification.
Also after all this time, how many months in that rat ass jail? And they're plea bargaining? Unbelievable.
Both of them are complete morons.

Sorry Ron. You can go to bat for Craigers and go on about how much he loves her all day long.
Doesnt change the fact of what these two add up to be
-shit.

Craig's plea to 1st Degree Arson indicates that he was aware that Melissa was still alive when placed in the trunk of the vehicle and it was set ablaze.

Judges do not accept plea agreements where the admissions do not conform to the statute requirements.

holy shit... that would be huge.

Sorry

98% of cases are resolved in a plea bargain.  Craig was looking at life and a day.  Now he'll be out in 10 or 15 years.  Very few cases go the distance.  If you have no idea what you're talking about you shouldn't post anything.

Pretty much on the money.

The number might be 95%-97% for felonies, but for misdemeanors 99+% are plea bargains.

Even in civil  ( as in $$$$, not jail time) cases (in the federal system anyway), only 1.3% get to trial, or 13 out of 1000 cases. That is a ridiculously low number.

From PBW Radio...

Craig Titus

2nd degree murder....

person is under the influence
or
a crime of passion

Minimum of 10 years to 25 years, but he can get parole, whereas in first degree murder, no possibility of parole?



It will be interesting if we can get a transcript of this plea?


First degree kidnapping WITHOUT substantial harm? Is another huge plus for Titus in the plea deal?


They are saying that it was a SEVEN hour negotiations for this plea deal?



There is a chance that the judge will punish them even more than what the law says.

It will be filed with the court clerk, if not already.

We need someone to go to the NV court house and pull the plea doc and post it. It may be online if they allow online access (most courts dont for criminal cases).

  I feel very sorry for the girl that died, but I also feel very sorry for Titus. Anyone, no matter how moral, can lose their minds and do something like this in a moment of extreme anger. It is a very scary thought that we can completley ruin our lives forever for losing control of our behavior for a single minute. As for being sentenced to prison, I would just try to escape with all my might and, if not possible, I would just hang myself. No way would I go to prison knowing what would happen to me. How can a heterosexual man keep going on living after losing his manhood, dignity and ownership of his own body? Even if there were no rape in prison, I still wouldn't be able to spend 30 years in a cell the size of a small bathroom. Suicide would be the only way out.

Well actually Craig was pretty smart, the time that they served up in the county jail will go to their sentence. So they got to do almost 3 years in a nice little county jail. Not the big boy PIN. So craig drew it out as long as he could, Kelly will have less time in the clank and Craig saved himself some time of being in the yard.

Does anyone know what Pin they will be going to. I would assume Craig will be going out to High Dessert?

Smart is the last word one should use to describe Titus.  His time served in Cook County jail will mean squat when the judge hands him a 30 year sentence.

With no binding sentencing deal he's at the mercy on a known hanging judge.  One that probably isn't very impressed with his delays, the media interview after his plea was reached, having to be told to shut up in the court..  One can pick out at least 20-30 boneheaded moves that Titus has made since killing the young lady.

The judge should bury him in a hole just to protect Titus from himself.

It is actually Clark County.

But you are 100% correct, Titus is a mental moron and smart is not a good word to describe him.

His whole life is a fucking train wreck.
