Re: Taylor & Courts
Not to get too legal, but the witness' criminal convictions will likely be admissible.
A witness' criminal convictions actually get admitted most of the time. In federal court, which admittedly has slightly different rules of evidence than Florida, a witness' criminal convictions are relevant for the purpose of showing character for truthfulness. Only when the prejudice of introducing such evidence substantially outweighs its probative value (of showing character for truthfulness) will the evidence of the conviction be denied admission. While courts don't want "bad person prejudice" to infect a trial, in federal court, there is a presumption that criminal convictions carry significant probative impeachment value. |

Re: Taylor & Courts
It was mentioned on Full Court Press Sat night that the guys that tried to jack ST's ATV have tried to do the same thing a few times since and it has not really been reported. I doubt ST will do any time but having this issue hanging out there is a distraction for ST and the team.

Re: Taylor & Courts
Knowing how the legal system in Miami works, I expect this case to be thrown out. Even if it does go through he will never be found guilty on any of the charges.

Re: Taylor & Courts
This was posted last Thursday, but I haven't seen any reaction to it on here:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...041201078.html Any bets on the case actually coming to court? |
