Sean's attorney put it best..."Sharpstein said the arrests proved that Taylor had no involvement in incidents that led to his death. Arizona Cardinals cornerback Antrel Rolle, a childhood friend of Taylor's, and others had speculated that Taylor had been hunted down by enemies.
"People always said Sean's life led him to this, saying he was violent," Sharpstein said. "But if anything here his openness and generosity led to this crime, which is shocking and horrific. I said all along it was a burglary and it was planned. There are 17-, 19-, 21-year-old pathetic criminal wannabes and they carry a gun like every other dime-a-dozen jerk in the streets, and they happen to come upon someone they don't expect to be there and they fire the gun and run like cowards.
"This is a shame, but it's not over and this will be of no solace to the family. If anything it will only make it harder to swallow"
We will never get to see what this young man could have done for his fellow man off the field. Yes he had a good begaining but what I have read about Sean he was just getting started! As a Redskin fan and a football fan we also lost what could have been a great player. This is real hard to swallow!!!!
