The see a celeb, and they feel they have to prove how tough they are. Look at the pathetic Michael Jackson case.
As for the other guy (from Baltimore--what a surprise! Probably a ravens fan...), he was offered a complete free pass to testify against Taylor, it sounded like. THat's a very good sign for Sean, I think. Sean and his boy say, "No gun." The other guy(s) say gun. But we know that the other guys shot a gun themselves, so they're in a weak spot.
Further, it's always struck me as so weird that the time line is that Taylor waved the gun first, and THEN came back without the gun and hit the guy. That, as anyone can tell, is ass backward. If you wave a gun, you better realize that your enemy is going to arm himself as well. So why did they come back unarmed? And the guys they attacked DID get a gun, only later? What? Why didn't they have it when Taylor came back for the 2nd time with the fist/bat attack?
Here's what may have happened. Taylor and his baltimore goon attack with fist and bat, and leave. Then the guys they attack shoot at Taylor's house. To cover their asses, they say, hey, Taylor waved a gun, it's (sort of) self defense.
SInce there are 2 charges against Sean, my guess is that he won't get hit on the gun thing. BUt he may well get assault. Still, he didn't have a bat, so isn't it a misdemeanor? WHo knows. In FLA, it may be a hanging offense.
What a mess!

Something is defiently not right, if Taylor waived a gun at these guy's then left, then after having been shot at why would he go back without a gun, knowing these guy's have guns and are willing to use them?
I am encouraged by the way the prosecuter used his words, he seemed to be lightening up on Sean, perhaps he's seen enough evidence to figure which direction this case is going, which is in taylors favor.
Something tells me nothing is going to come out of this, basically the prosecution will wave it's hands in the air and chalk the whole thing up to a basic pissing contest that they will never really get to the bottom of.
