Taylor Officially Charged

[BigSKINBauer]

He hasn't been proven guilty so that is they way that we should take this, he may or may not be guilty but he believes that he isn't guilty, enough that he took a lie detector test. He hasn't "thrown away his talent" and he is not "a waste" until we know for sure that he did what he is accused of doing. It is not fair to say those things (and I know i have felt the same way) until we know the facts, it is very very very possible that he did nothing but punch the guy. I don't even know how they know that he had a gun, probally witnesses and how much credit do we give them as they have been quoted on this issue asking "whats the profit for [them]". All i am saying is that i strongly believe that someone is innocent until proven guilty and that we should take a step back and look at this and not just assume that he is a common thug.
But regardless of being innocent or guilty he did embarress the redskins. I just hope that the trial does get pushed back.

I'm not a lawyer and I don't even play one on TV. But precedents in other celebrity cases suggest that he will either win in court or the witnesses will suddenly choose not to testify - - collecting a nice gratuity of course in some kind of sidebar settlement.

I doubt Taylor will do any jailtime unless of course there is an obscure Florida law that has a mandatory sentence associated with being a MEATHEAD.
