Ex-boxing champ Jermain Taylor just caught a HUUUGE break -- he will NOT go to prison for his role in multiple frightening and violent incidents ... as long as he keeps his nose clean.
Taylor appeared in court for 3 different cases:
1) The time he shot his cousin in 2014
2) The time he pulled out a gun at an MLK Day parade and fired shots in the air
3) The time he beat up a fellow patient at the mental health facility where he was being treated
Taylor had previously pled guilty to 2 counts of battery, 2 counts of terroristic threats, 5 counts of aggravated assault and possesion of a controlled substance.
