Thanks Joe. I know you put in a good word to the Man upstairs.

Sean's Status Unchanged
As of this minute, all is still the same, in critical condition. Sean has not yet opened his eyes, according to lawyer Richard Sharpstein, but was responsive to stimuli. The doctors continue to monitor him closely, checking vital signs and signs of responsiveness and hoping that this is the first of many milestones to come.

Given that this is a high profile case and these guys cut the phone lines, left a knife on Taylor's bed, damaged the door and AC unit, fired a weapon, etc., I'm confident that they are going to be caught and f'ed.

Cut the phone lines? Damaged the A/C unit? They're morons! Would anyone on this entire friggin forum be cutoff from the outside world if the land-line running to your house (if you even have one) was cut? I'm pretty confident these idiots will surface sooner rather than later, and I hope breaking and entering, reckless endangerment, and attempted murder are amongst the charges thrown their way. SSG? Thoughts on the charges that'll be filed given what you know about the situation?

Unfortunately, I'm not at all familiar with Florida law and the facts are still pretty murky. The typical scenario is that the prosecutor hits them with as many charges as possible to gain leverage for plea deal talks. I would guess they would be hit with various firearms charges (e.g., it is likely they are felons and would be hit with charges of felon in possession of a firearm), attempted murder, various property crimes, and burglary among other possible charges. In short, if they get caught, they're f'ed. JoeRedskin?

Good. Hopefully they're caught soon.

Do you find it kind of strange that all this happened supposedly with this fiancee in the room and she emerged unscathed? I ceratinly don't want to speculate. And I apologize if it seems that way. But, if we assume the shooter was trying to kill Taylor, doesn't he also "take care" of any potential witnesses?

She must be in protective custody or not living in that house anymore. I would be surprised if the guy came after her since this attack is so highly profiled. I don't think this is like some sort of mafia hit, where now they have to take out everyone in a 1 block radius. I think this guy is too busy trying to save his ass right now to worry about anyone who may or may not have seen something. I don't even think she was in the same room when this happened. I thought ST left the bedroom to see what was going on. I seriously doubt she even saw anything.

Oh, he left the bedroom? OK, I thought he had basically barricaded himself, her, and their baby in the bedroom and the door was kicked down and shots were fired.

It's all so confusing.

I feel you SS. Hopefully by the end of the week they'll have a good idea on what actually happened and we won't have to speculate anymore.

Not to really get into the whole speculating thing, but just as some peices are start to put together....

I just dont get that if this was a "hit" like it seems to be coming together as...how they just shot him in the leg and left...it dosent add up to me...I dont really care if it ever does as long as Sean Makes it.

Pull through, Sean!

I haven't heard anything other than his fiancee hid under the covers and the baby was unharmed. I think that's why they're calling it a robbery/burglary. If it was a planned "hit," I don't think Taylor's only wound would have been to his upper leg. From what I've heard/read, it seems as if Taylor's presence caused the intruder to fire a few shots and run.

ESPN is still reporting that the assailant(s) burst through the doors and shot Taylor inside of the bedroom.

I just spoke to my mom who is a doctor and a big skins fan...she was glad that he responded to stimuli and thinks that he is through the worst, but she said that tonight is very very important (first 24 hours after surgery) in determining the long term recuperation and the extent of the damage. Obviously he has top notch medical staff at his side but we still need to pray for him and he is by no means in the clear.
