Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan sentenced
Musclephone alert came through as soon as the new came out. Craig Titus was sentenced to 21-55 years. Kelly Ryan was sentenced 6-26 years in prison.
Craig Titus pleaded guilty on May 30 to second-degree murder, kidnapping and arson. Kelly Ryan pleaded guilty to arson and Nevada’s equivalent of no contest to battery with a deadly weapon.
According the sources, Kelly read a statement, and could not stop crying. Then Craig came up, said he was sorry, and called himself a coward for his acts, and apoligized.
Then Maura James came up, and begged the judge for the maximum sentence, and asked for a gag order on Craig and Kelly.
The judge decided not to impose a gag order, then procedeed to lecture Craig and Kelly, and then he threw the book at them, and gave them whatever he could.
Kelly’s sentence of 6 to 26 years means that in 6 years, she will be eligible for parole, although she has served close to 3 years, with a maximum of 26 years she can spend in jail. Craig”s sentence of 21 to 51 years means that in 21 years, he will be eligible for parole in 21 years, less time served already.
2008 IFBB Europa Pro Complete Results
It was a good weekend in Dallas, as Toney Freeman beat Dennis James again in a rematch from last weeks Tampa Pro Bodybulding contest. However, Fouad Abiad placed ahead of an incredible Will Harris to garner that coveted Olympia qualification, which had Fouad in tears backstage with the change to compete in his dream contest. Another incredible competitor, Tarek Elsetouhi came on strong too, coming in 5th, and leaving Darrem Charles out in 6th place.
Here are the complete results from the five IFBB pro contests…

IFBB Tampa Pro Bodybuilding Contest Results
In the first IFBB Tampa pro show that I can remember that has been held in Tampa, Florida, Toney Freeman barely won over a muscular Dennis James to win the Men’s Bodybuilding contest. Just how close was it. At the end of the third round, Toney and Dennis were tied, and the final comparison and posedown round decided it. David Henry, the winner of the 202lbs and Under, took third also at this contest, while Darrem Charles took 4th. Two top contenders, are are poised to make a big splash in the coming months and years, is Fouad Abiad from Canada (who took 5th), and Tarek Elsetouhi from Germany (who took 7th). Thanks to Tim and Brandi Gardner, who promoted this event.
