He should follow his attorny's advice.

Re: Taylor should take deal
 

[quote=Paintrain]I completely agree.. To suggest he should take a plea to a felony just so he can play for your favorite team is beyond selfish..

What happens if he takes a plea and suffers a career ending injury?? He'd be a 23 year old convicted felon who can't get a job in a whole bunch of industries because of that, can't vote in a presidential election, can't get lines of credit, etc. Not worth it![/quote]

Yo Paintrain, I never said he should take the plea just so he could play for my favorite team, I said that if he has a proposed deal which would get him out of this mess with no jail time then he should take it rather than roll the dice with a jury. If he gets a "career ending injury" well then he has his signing bonus and insurance money. If you think its "not worth it" think again! PLENTY of innocent people are sitting in jail for crimes they did not commit. If you have your freedom, you have life, its just now worth a roll of the dice if you have a plea in place to avoid jail time. Id tell that to any criminal defendant, not just Sean Taylor!

If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit.

Re: Taylor should take deal
 

If the deal he was offered made sense, I believe he would have already signed on the dotted line. With limited information we have, it appears the prosecutor has over-reached and is now trying to find a face-saving way out...hence the "Passover Postponement" to get a little more time to play let's make a deal. Would be surprised if this goes to trial but if it does advantage seems to go to defendant ST since accusers are repeat offenders and defense only needs to convince one juror.

My friend plays on the DC Divas, the WPFL team that plays over at FedEx (on the side fields). They wear Skins colors with different helmets...if you guys are looking for some offseason football on Saturdays at 7pm you should get some tickets!

Uhmmm, ok....the chances that the scumbags involved in this prevailing in a civil suit even if Taylor pleads are slim to none. They're damages are non-existent and they can't claim emotional distress after some of them have been accused of crimes with guns in the past and since this incident.

Re: Taylor should take deal
 

Furthermore, the standard of evidence for a guilty verdict in criminal court is "beyond a reasonable doubt" and in civil it is the lower "preponderance of evidence standard." This is how OJ was found not guilty in criminal and guilty in civil.
