Craig Titus says he's guilty but he's no killer
Craig Titus says he's willing to sacrifice his freedom for his wife, Kelly Ryan.
In his first interview with News 3 since his surprising guilty plea, Titus denied claims that he murdered his former assistant, Melissa James, but said the plea deal was the only way to spare Ryan a lengthy prison sentence.
"I never said I killed Melissa James," Titus told News 3's Dana Wagner, "I said i would plead guilty if you give my wife an oppportunity to have a life."
Titus pleaded guilty Friday to second-degree murder, 1st degree kidnapping, and 1st degree arson. Ryan pleaded guilty to arson, and entered an Alford plea to battery with a deadly weapon. The Alford plea means Ryan won't admit guilt, but admits there is enough evidence to convict her.
Once superstars of professional bodybuilding, the couple were named the key suspects after James' body was found in Ryan's burned-out Sedan in December 2005.
Nine days later they were arrested at a Boston beauty salon.
Looking at Titus today, he appears to have lost the form that won him multiple bodybuilding championships, and it's likely he'll never again compete on the professional level.
It's a fact he seems resigned to, admitting that he's made some "bad decisions", and that he's ready to pay the price.
Titus wouldn't explain the details of Melissa James' murder, but he says he never wanted any harm to come to her, and he wishes to explain what happened to her mother.
"I want to tell her that I loved her daughter and want to talk to her and tell her it's nothing like they painted it out to be."
Titus may get his chance in court, he and Kelly Ryan will be sentenced July 18.
-
Fucking scum.
-
He is full of shit. He is feeling guilty for dragging that hag into this problem. Don't they have the death penalty here.
-
He's an asshole who absolutely killed James.
He's trying to be the man yet again by saying that he's jumping on the sword to save his old lady. i wish nothing but death, heartache and a pox upon him
-
are all these interviews admissible in sentencing?
like, if the judge reads this, can he withdraw the plea agreement or chance setencing?
-
hes got some honor. he is giving kelly a new chance at life and taking the full rap.
i admire him
-
what a guy ::)

prisons are filled with innocent victims...tell craiggers to call Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld asap somebody should email his arrogant quotes to the DA
-
I'm not sure why Ron has become so pro-Titus.
The thread title is rather comical considering he's about to plead guilty. Titus' reasoning for it is irrelevant.
By allegedly taking the fall for his wife.. he's just continuing in his long string of bad decisions.
There's nothing heroic or admirable about any aspect of this case.

Where do you me being pro or anti Titus? Just reporting what Craig said.

Maybe as a married man Ron understands the love Craig feels and the altruism hes shown.
He has been a hero in a sense as hes taken the rap, not even tried to beat it, to give his wife a free life he won't have.
Titus= a redeemed man
-
Hope he gets raped repeatedly in jail!!!!

What any decent man would do. ::)
You cannot redeem yourself if you killed someone in cold blood. btw, you're acting as though he's gone and done a lifetime of charity work and found the cure for aids.

I must admit, that is a pretty sweet pic of craig on your avatar
-
Free Titus.
-
If it was Ryan who actually killed her then he is a hero. Otherwise, he's just done the right thing.

The Official Fist List:
1) Craig Titus

You just made the Lisp List, biitch.

If it was Ryan that actually killed her, he would have rolled on her in a hot second. why? becasue hes a girl
-
Nice that Titus is so considerate and wants to provide "closer" to Melissa James' mother/family - this statement will help with that ::)
-
What will be interesting is that on July 18th, perhaps we will learn exactly what occurred, for closure sake.
Acceptance of responsibility is a big factor in terms of sentencing in front of a job, as was discussed on Larry Pepe's PBW Pep Talk... that is not going to have a positive effect in front of Judge Glass...
-
given, i dont know the laws of nevada, but im guessing the deal is done, he'll get the maximum allowable sentence for what he has plead to. it wouldnt matter what he said
-
Hope he gets raped repeatedly in jail!!!!
He is a homo, you can't rape the willing
-
And the IFBB say that doing Drug tests do Fuk all.This Fuk had a Prison term already for Drugs and now facing 30 for murder.And to think Priest and Milos are suspended for what??? ::)

Good point. Looks like Titus's ego might prevent him from doing the right thing. He wants to go down as the savior and sacrificial lamb

Ron, if you're not Pro-Titus, then at least put a quote in "quotes"

Titus is going to die for you bitches! FREE TITUS!!!
Donate cash for his wife to get some more surgery!!
That bitch was a slut and needed a good burning!

I knew that fucking POS would say something like this.
If I was the judge I would pull that cock sucker into court and tell him straight up that a plea deal is invalid if he is making the claim that he is INNOCENT.
Then I would tell that POS to repeat what he said in this interview-and if he did repeat it I would say fine-trial tomorrow, get ready for it.
Oh, and if I were that judge I would refuse any more plea deals. It would be showtime.

Are you kidding me, you will not hear anything about the circumstances-and anything you do hear will be a one sided bias baloney bullshit story from CT.
-

The plea was signed Friday night (5/29??). But, if he is claiming he is not guilty the judge can cancel it and MAKE him go to trial, which is exactly what I would do.

No need to be pessimistic.

If there is anything that this board has taught us all MattC is that you should always stay positive and respect your fellow man. Titus has come back from one stint in the clink and other than a fractured sense of reality and a blown O-Ring, he competed like the champion we all knew he was. Titus is an iron warrior, he knows what winning takes from his thousands of hours logged playing the "iron game". He will be back and better than ever in no time!

Ha!
::)
-
He did it all for Kelly...the sale of ecstasy, the partying, the rip-offs, the three-ways, the "in home" training weekends, the afterparties, the affair with Melissa, the choke hold (well maybe he DID do that one for Kelly...damn..lol)
it's ALLLLLLL Kelly's fault..poor Craig, he's the victim in all this can't you see? He's just trying to be noble and he wants & needs to talk to Maura James and explain things...
whatever ::)
-
you guys think it will be easier to lay kelly ryan after she gets out?
just wonderin

You must have been hiding under rock. Let me help. Titus the pussy scumbag shot his assistant numerous times with a stun gun, duct taped her mouth and limbs together and shoved her into his girlfriends car, ran out of lighter fluid so went to Walmart to buy some more. Talked some innocent kid to following hi, out to the middle of desert and then poured the lighter fluid all over the car and lit his assistant on fire while still alive. Then to top it off travels cross country to get some money so he could flee the country. But his girlfriend needed her nails done and they pulled over and they got caught. Now he is sucking dick and getting his ass reamed on a daily basis. He deserves to die and should. But instead the taxpayers will pay for him to live. Hope this helps. You should really read up more Ron. ;)

Which one of Bob Bonham's buddies is going to date Ryan when she gets out?
-
It's a little hot here in Vegas.
-
Where do you me being pro or anti Titus? Just reporting what Craig said.
Maybe you should have titled your thread "Craig Titus CLAIMS that he is not guilty of murder" then, eh?
-
This just in (on my Musclephone):
Howard just pre-ordered tickets to the 2021 Mr. Olympia to see Craig Titus back on stage.
But Howard's not entirely sure Craig will be able to return to his 1995 form and so he's not sure if he should go or not. Plus, gas will be $8.50/gallon. What do you guys think? Should he go?
-
Poor little Craiggie.

Matt Kline has been saying this since day one..............(Ron call him if u get a chance)

I'm thinking if you take a "guilty plea" you are pleading guilty, saying you did it. Although, to be truthful, I don't think he is the one who did it.

is KILLY going to speak?

Free Killy??

Johnny, I think you hit the nail right on the head.

"I never said I murdered Melissa James, I just said I was guilty in order to give my wife a life.."
Tranlation...I knew that if this shit went to trial, I was getting the death penalty, so I'll make like I'm saving someone who I don't give three shits about when it comes down to it, in order to look like a hero and save myself from getting the chair.

They were totally drugged out.

Given Craig's affinity for mind altering drugs, being high is essentially a state of sobriety for him.

And if that is what went down you say so-and you apologize and say you will never use drugs again. You admit your mistake abd ask for forgiveness and to move on.
You dont deny/refuse to accept responsibility for the crime.

i thought oj did it
