I'm guessing he won't serve all 160 years.

"attempted manslaughter"

I thought manslaughter was the unintentional killing of another.

How can something be attempted that is unintentional?

Well, for every success story out of prison like a Bernard Hopkins, there's a Clifford Etienne who couldn't get the past out of his life. A million dollars, a golden opportunity, and he threw it all away. Sad, but he made his choices, and now he lives with them.

resulting from his involvement in an Aug. 10, 2005....

Committed not long after his two devastating losses (both 3rd round stoppages) in early '05 to journeyman Calvin Brock and Russian (7 ft.) giant Nicolay Valuev. Couldn't handle defeat, so went back to his old profession (crime).

At approximately 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 10, 2005, police officers arrested Etienne after he held up a Baton Rouge check-cashing business and fled the premises with nearly $2,000 taken from a register drawer. During Etienne's attempted escape, the former fighter carjacked a motorist using a 9mm handgun and also unsuccessfully fired at officers because his gun malfunctioned twice.

I watched this guy fight a few times on TV and once live. He was never going to be a champ, but could have done a lot of good for guys trying to follow his path out of prison. When the golden ring was found by Etienne to be out of reach, he reverted back to his former self.

He's back where he belongs to be.

Once the shining example of correctional reform and rehabilitation...

One might argue that he remains a shining example of today's style of correctional reform and rehabilitation - heavy emphasis on style over substance.
