By Steve Barnes LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Reuters) - Former world middleweight boxing champion Jermain Taylor was given suspended sentences by an Arkansas judge on Friday and put on probation for six years, avoiding prison after pleading guilty in three separate cases. The cases included shooting a cousin, discharging a firearm before a family at a Martin Luther King Day observance in Little Rock and striking a fellow patient at an Arkansas drug rehabilitation center. The three cases produced nine felony charges against Taylor but some of the charges were dropped and others consolidated in an agreement reached with prosecutors in December.
