Thanks for the link. It is up surd that stupid, hurtful rumors like this were even spread about a man who has always been a nice, honest, and genuine guy in JT. Everyone who even thinks that Jermain had anything to do with the murder are idiots. Supposedly, Pressley was pregnant with JT's baby. If so, that would have been obvious for forensics to find JT as a prime suspect. Also, JT had a fight coming up and was training for the fight because the fight was only 2 weeks after Pressley's murder. JT is a great man, and drop the lies!!!!

jermain is linked, as in, had her roughed up. not that he did the killing.

I work in the town that the alleged killer is from and around here it is said she was having an affair with Jermain Taylor and his wife found out and paid the alleged killer 10,000 to kill her. His wife is from Palestine which is near Marianna Arkansas.

Why are no pictures of Anne as a child or in High School. God destroyed Sodom if she was a man. It is not fair to play with somebody or fool them.

To Guy G. Cannady and family show all of Anne's Pictures and quit wasting time lying and coverup on this so call high profile case. It is a big waste of time you can hide from the God. And you are not right to lie that is a sin so stay out of the Church.

you are a fanatical idiot and God is not too proud of you right now. They have showed pictures of Anne as a baby, little girl, teen girl and she is alll girl and always have been. Besides that we have known her since she was a little girl. They lost a daughter to a horrific murder, that is not a GOD thing, God is love, you god may act that way if so, go back to your terrorist cave or you get back into church and if your god is that way, you are right, the Cannaday's need to stay out of church.

What an idiot you are...did you happen to just watch the 20/20 special and see all of the pictures they showed of her as a baby and as a teenager?

It's morons like you that give Christians a bad name. People such what fanatic freaks there are running around proclaiming to do God's work and they run away from it.

Please people stop the rumors...Jermain Taylor has put Little Rock, Ark on the map and people especially people of the African American Race should be defending him not pushing rumors. We as a race, as a people will one day learn that we need to stick together and stop being crabs in a barrel. Keep your head up Jermain and your family.....May GOD continue to Bless You.

Why does everything have to be about COLOR!! I get so sick of hearing this shit!! As a matter of fact your race is the one's that keep bringing the White/Black issue up!! Let it go MAN!!! The jews were treated way worse, than a black man ever thought of being treated!! Maybe you should watch a Hitler speacial one-day!! Or maybe learn how to word that would be an English language, and one which that school would have taught you, because "We as a race, as a people", that just sounds plain E-Bonics!!! No one needs to talk about God he will condemn you, and no you cannot hide!! That's been proven on Vance's behalf, and if the "Rumor" is true about Taylor they will go down to!!! No matter what color, you do the crime, you do the time!!! Quit with the COLOR SHIT!!! Get educated!!!! Focus on more of that, and the world might be a better place!!!!

Oooooooohhhh..... Everybody give Andy a hand!. Is that what you wanted Andy? Well, guess what? The world is and has always been about color. Some people are just better at hiding their issues. Apparently this was your boiling point! HAHAHAHAHA! Dang it, Andy!!! You let it come out!!! You weren't supposed to do that!

You're not a Jew and you've never been black. You have no clue about such things and can relate to neither group of people. Blacks have never tried to take anything from the Jews. Who cares who had the greater struggle? It was still more than you or your ancestors have ever gone through. "Woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!" Look that t one up, Andy. You probably already have which is why you want blacks to stop bringing up color. Blacks don't have to bring it up. We see it in just about everything people like you do and say. By the way, thanks! No, seriously…thanks! You make our jobs a lot easier because you expose yourself and those like you. Anyway, I've got news for you Andy. I don't know if you knew this, but payback is coming. There is a LOT of blood to be answered for.... for both blacks and Jews. Just pray that you're not in the number. Call me a fanatic if you want, but we'll see who’s calling who what in the end. You just better hope you're saved! Are you, Andy? Are you saved? Where will you spend eternity? Will you suffer as an evildoer? You all love to call us fanatics when we take you there, don't you? It's too much for you to handle. You’ll never admit it, but you’re wondering about your soul right now. I know you are…it’s getting to you. That’s the point. When you lie in your bed tonight (or wherever…) on your way to sleep, you’ll think about it. Let me help you a little more, Andy. No matter what you think or say (or anyone else in your circle) GOD IS REAL. He will come back for His people, and He WILL avenge all of the lives that were lost during the Holocaust and slavery. It’s going to happen, Andy. Andy…it will happen. You know what else? Racists (that includes all those who think they’re not racist but refer to other races as “You People”, thus proving that they really are…) will not go with Him.

Oh…thanks for the English lesson! You might want to get back in contact with the school where you learned English. I almost had a hard time following your run-on sentences with improper subject-verb agreement. This message board is, by the way, the writing sample for admission to MENSA! Did you forget? In addition to Ebonics (there’s no hyphen , Andy), there’s also no redneck or hillbilly talk either. That was just FYI.

Have a great day, Andy. Don’t mention it…it was my pleasure.

cinnamon1 who are you to judge anyone??!!! i am disgusted by your comments! to speak ill of the dead much less the victim of a violent hate crime. you speak as if you know what you are talking about. #1. There is no way of knowing if the bible even the king james version is the true word of god. why? b/c hebrew, aramaic, sanscrit, none of those ancient languages transalate directly into english. #2 and I love this, history proves it look it up. King James who commissioned the first english translation of the bible was a homosexual and a pedophile, oh wait, doesn't it say in Romans that homo's will burn in hell. The fact of the matter is you are a complete idiot and horrible person, who will be harshly judged by God when that day comes, if you continue to speak hatred as you do here. Shame on you! I suggest you read your bible more often and study a little history.

JUST BECAUSE JERMAINE TAYLOR DID NOT DO IT.... DOES NOT MEAN THAT HE AND HIS WIFE WAS NOT INVOLVED! NO ANNE PRESSLY WAS NOT A MAN, BUT IT IS SAID THAT SHE WAS PREGNANT WITH JERMAINE TAYLOR'S BABY!!! DO SOME MORE RESEARCH PLEASE.... THE MAN THAT WAS ARRESTED AND CHARGED FOR ANNE PRESSLY'S MURDER IS JERMAINE TAYLOR'S WIFE COUSIN!! DID YOU KNOW THAT? JUST BECAUSE JERMAINE AND WIFE DID NOT DO IT, DOES NOT MEAN THEY WERE NOT INVOLVED!!

You peaople are just awful for spreading rumors about this poor lady. Let her rest in peace now and her family heal from this horrific hate crime. She was a beautiful young lady who has been cheated/robbed out of a lifetime and now you want to tant her memory with your low down gossip. You should be ashamed of your behavior. Your mother should have taiught you better.

I have always found that "where there's smoke, there's fire". So whether we agree or not, there is probably some shred of truth to the rumor.

The part about the sex change is just plain silly, but the half of the rumor that doesn't seem to be making its way to these on-line gossip lines is that she may have been pregnant. I can't say if that's true or not, but it makes a lot more sense than a sex-change issue.

Also, the police have Vance (or whatever his name it) but that doesn't mean no one else was involved. The story I've heard from some close to the source is that she was 12 weeks pregnant and that Jermaine and/or his wife hired Vance. I suppose we'll have to wait and see what plays out, but just because they have a suspect and just because Anne was always a woman doesn't mean Jermaine wasn't involved. No one is beat to death for a purse......particularly that violently. Something else is going on - Jermaine or not.

If anyone watched the news and all the coverage they did about Anne they did show baby pictures and high school pictures and yes she was a woman. Lying about the dead and saying such cruel things about such a wonderful person will be on the list of things that GOD will notice when you die. If Jermaine and his wife had something to do with it then GOD will take care of them and for the man that killed her I hope he rots in prison and pays for what he did to such a wonderful woman. If you seriously think she was a man then you need to turn on the TV and look at her baby pictures and stop being so damn stupid. Shame on those of you talking all that mess about her. MAY SHE R.I.P

I do beleive he had something to do with this. Why else would his name of all people in Little Rock surface? I am from Arkansas born and raised 15 minutes from Marianna, I can't find one friend or family memeber from that area who has one bad thing to say about this Vance guy whom the media has made a "Criminal Overnight". The police said they have forensic evidence on Vance, that could be a finder print or plam print, they never said DNA, which is bodily fluid of some sort.... Jermain might not be guilty of murder but he is guilty of something...

They did find DNA evidence read here. It doesn't say what kind of DNA I've heard its sperm, which is a good assumption in a sexual assault case.

Also, you said you couldn't find anyone to say a "bad thing" about him. His DNA also matched DNA from a rape case of a school teacher in Marianna. Pretty sure that's a bad thing. All in all the judge released a gag order on the case but I want to know how they are going to be able to find an unbiased jury.

I would never even think of Jermain Taylor doing such a heinous crime. I never believed the rumors, and whoever started them should be ashamed of themselves. The internet blog sites, forums, and editorials that help spread this idiotic rumor should be fired or quit what their current job. He can, and will, never be charged with anything, however because of these dumb rumors some people out there will choose ignorance and believe that JT was involved. The suspect in the case is caught, the LRPD is certain of a conviction, and I am glad they found the guy responsible!!

No the rumor is that Anne Pressley was sleeping with Jermaine Taylor, and that Jermaine Taylor had a key to Pressley's home, which would explain the unforced entry. It is true that evidence shows Curtis Vance committed the crime, but speculation is that Jermaine paid to have it done. I'm one of the biggest Jermaine Taylor fans you'll find, and I pray to God it's not true! But whoever did this or was behind it should be punished to the utmost extreme!!!

My theory is that homophobes are people who have gay tendencies and are so confused by their bible-belt upbringing and of course use the bible to justify their bigotry. I find it interesting that these people chose to use the Jewish laws from the Old Testement to justify their hatred but have no problem breaking the other laws themselves - including one of the top ten - Thou shal not break the Sabbath -which is Saturday btw.

My sister's boss lives just two blocks from the Pressly house. The Taylor connection is unfounded. However, a couple of people have come forward stating that Curtis Vance was in the neighborhood the day before. He approached a maid to a residence there saying he was there to clean the gutters. The maid said that the owners already had someone that cleans the gutters. She became wary and went into the house. Another couple of ladies in the area said that Curtis Vance pulled up in his Aurora and asked them a question. Very interesting.

JT is linked to Pressley. Of course that does not mean that he killed her. Whoever did it does in fact need to have the law enforced to the fullest........and of course since Anne was well known here in Little Rock, the accused killer or killers will not receive a fair trial. Its just not possible in this state. I'm not condoning anything and the person does need to be punished but like many from this great state of Arkansas known as the A-State (great, yeah right) a fair trial for this man is almost impossible. JT and I are cousins and I hate to see the blogs linking him to the murders. Yes he and Anne had a relationship.........long ago in high school and part of her college journey........Her parents were very strict and did not condone this relationship b/c he is black. That drove her away and they called it quits before he was known in the boxing world.

It is just sad that someone with money thinks they can cover it up. Vance is just a fall guy. He left too much evidence behind for it not to be a rigged up deal. You can't tell me that Vance was that stupid to where he would not at least try to cover up some of it. The guy had a trail a mile long. DNA, skin under her fingernails, Atm card, it was too easy to find him. I think he got paid a lot of money and he took care of his family and didn't worry about himself. People will do a lot to take care of there family.
