Piranha Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Taylor faces 46 years on assault charges Taylor faces 46 years on assault charges NFL.com wire reports MIAMI (Jan. 27, 2006) -- Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor faces up to 46 years in prison after two additional assault charges were filed against him. Michael Grieco, an assistant state attorney, said the charges reflect Taylor's alleged threatening of three people with a gun in an armed confrontation over an all-terrain vehicle on June 1. Taylor, 22, now faces three counts of aggravated assault, each of which carries a minimum sentence of three years and a maximum of 15 years in prison. He also faces one misdemeanor battery charge that carries a potential one-year prison term. Trial is scheduled to begin March 20 for Taylor, a former University of Miami star who signed a seven-year contract after being drafted by the Redskins in 2004. He has six interceptions and 120 tackles in his two seasons. Taylor's attorney, Edward Carhart, said the additional charges surprised him. "The state has had this case since June and now they're filing these added charges? It's bizarre," Carhart said. Taylor has pleaded not guilty and remains free on $16,500 bond. The Redskins lost to the Seattle Seahawks two weeks ago in the NFC playoffs. In a playoff victory against Tampa Bay, Taylor was ejected after spitting in the face of Buccaneers running back Michael Pittman. Earlier in that game, he ran a fumble back for a touchdown.

junebugz Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 He'll probably just get the Jamal Lewis off-season plea bargain special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msaint Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 What a moran. If he gets locked up, he'll be getting more than spit in his face. :doah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perchoutofwater Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Did he really assualt anyone, or did he just point a gun at them and say give me back my Escalade? If he assualted someone, then I hope the fatherless male gets altleast 10 years by then he will be to old to play against the Cowboys. If he just pointed a gun at them and said give me back my Escalade, then nothing should happen to him, as much as I hate to say it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had a dollar for every time I pointed a gun at someone during a dispute... Totally rational response on ST's part. He should walk.

He should walk. 1292002[/snapback] Ha....good stuff. Florida is really trying to crack down on the gun laws from what I gather and they is why the penalties are so severe for drawing a gun on someone. Of course, he's an NFL star so he'll find a way around service actual jail time most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Up here all you have to do is show the gun.... goodbye freedom-hello jail. Pointing it isn't even taken into consideration. It is a fact of life that sooner or later someone has to be used as an example. I see him doing time. Probably 15 with time off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Score 1 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Maybe his lawyer can get it postponed since he's an NFL player and all. 1292293[/snapback] His lawyer already did get it postponed because he's an NFL player. He originally was set for a trial date before the 2005 season started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylive5 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 15 years???? I'm not familiar with the original incident, what happened? 1292173[/snapback] Two extra charges have been added to the below linked article from June: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...5062400535.html With three felony charges now... plus the misdemeanor charge... figure he will get somewhere around 15. The reasoning behind my prediction is that there have been so many cases involving sports figures, and so many getting away with it, (like bryant) that they will make an example of Taylor. Won't give him max, but will give him in the middle somewhere... probably 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You been hanging out on the Iverson/MarcusVick planet tooooooo much. Time to come back to our civilized world where point guns at people is a criminal offense, regardless of who you are!!

jgcoach Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 For as many times as I've been ripped off, I've never been able to find the guys that did it. Nor has the police for that matter. He found the people that stole his vehicles. Maybe he shouldn't go to jail, they should make him a cop. He didn't do anything wrong. Found the criminals that stole his vehicles and detained them until the cops got there. because there were more than one, he needed a gun. Sounds perfectly logical. Justice was served.
