After Spending 44 Days In Prison, Disheartened Gervonta Davis Makes Brutal Claim Against Judge After Being Denied His Request On Christmas

In the lyrics of Wham!, “Last Christmas, I gave you my heart but the very next day, you gave it away.” In light of all that has happened with Gervonta Davis recently, the boxer rendition of this classic would be something like this: “This Christmas, I gave you my wish, but the very next minute, you pushed it aside.” Christmas is a time for love; it’s a time for family. But for Davis, there will be no saving him from tears this holiday season, and he feels it’s all thanks to his hit-and-run case’s judge, Judge Althea Handy.

On the cold night of November 5, 2020, Davis was behind the wheel of a Lamborghini Urus SUV when he jumped a red light and crashed into another car, injuring four people. After fleeing the scene, the 29-year-old was sentenced to 90 days of house arrest and 200 hours of community service in May 2023. Per the West Baltimore native, he did all that was asked of him. So when he made a Christmas request to Judge Handy, who disregarded Davis’ reasoning, it prompted a brutal claim from the boxer.

Gervonta Davis took to X on December 22, 2023, to write, “The judge will not let [me] go home to spend Christmas w[ith] my kids or to start train[ing] for camp… I completed everything that I [was] supposed to.” Considering this, he couldn’t understand why the judge denied his request, so he alleged that Judge Handy had a vendetta against him. “This lady have something against me, idk why.”

This came after the champion boxer spent 44 days in the Baltimore City Detention Center due to a ruling by the judge. When Davis was initially sentenced to house arrest, he was supposed to see it through in his trainer Calvin Ford’s home. But because the house was too small for Davis and his security team, he moved to a hotel, following which he moved to a luxury complex. 

For violating the terms of his house arrest, “Judge Handy ordered the defendant to serve the remainder of his home detention sentence at the Baltimore City Detention Center.” Seeing all the recent developments in Davis’ life begs the question: What happened during the hearing for his case? Here is everything about Davis’ sentencing!

Gervonta “Tank” Davis pleaded guilty

Following the crash in November 2020, Davis pleaded guilty to four counts on February 16 earlier this year. Moreover, Davis was given the right to stand trial for the case but waived his right to trial on the same day. Davis’ offenses were – leaving the scene of the accident, failing to notify authorities, driving with a revoked license, and running a red light. 

According to the prosecution, the lightweight champion boxer left a club in Baltimore in his Lamborghini with a police escort. Later, Davis’ car swerved from the caravan and ran a red light, striking the passenger side of a 2004 Toyota Solara. Addressing the fact that Davis fled the scene, Judge Handy said, per the Baltimore Banner, “Three words: ‘I am sorry.’ And he was not man enough to do that … He’s shown absolutely no remorse.” Moreover, two weeks after Davis’ win over Ryan Garcia, he was sentenced to three years probation and 200 hours of community service. 

Despite spending 44 days in prison, the judge in charge of Davis’ case has denied his visit to his kids for Christmas. Do you think Davis deserves the punishment? Does the judge in charge seem unfair to you?
