He was wrong. He's serving 8 years now with 7 years probation. Of course, the difference is you can dispute a lot of the things that my friend did. Sean Taylor-I know nothing about what really happened.

I mean no offense or disrespect, but I think Sean Taylor's lawyers probably know the system better than your friends. I read somewhere that he has 3 of the top ten lawyers in Florida... so my guess is they know what their doing and he'll get charges dismissed or a not-guilty verdict. If you take a felony, you miss 4 games, and have a felony on your record.
Bottom line: If 3 of the top ten lawyers in the state are telling you to reject the plea because there is not enough evidence, for example... you trust them.
