New Details About Taylor's Murder

[jsarno]

I still don't get why they broke into the bedroom and shot Taylor. It doesn't sound like a burglary gone wrong to me...it sounds like they were there for a reason other than burglary.

The knife on the bed a week prior seems to indicate so.

Supposedly, the knife was left on the bed because the defendants were using it to try to pry things open. They went into the bedroom because that is where Taylor kept his money. They told police they did not expect Taylor to be home. So, they were going after the money in the bedroom, ran across Taylor, and fired in panic. At least, that's the most plausible theory. There doesn't seem to be any indication they intended to kill Taylor.

So they came back with guns...

Exactly!
I am not a detective, but from what I read, this seems to be a premeditated murder...but my opinion doesn't mean squat in this so called "investigation".

That's just more evidence. Of course the killers are going to say whatever they can to lessen this blow. Instead of getting the chair, they will get parole in many, many years.
