Taylor Issue Over!!!

Monksdown · 06-01-2006, 06:14 PM

It is now the equivalent of stealing 20 bucks and jay walking. I love it. God Bless overzealous incompetent prosecutors, and teams of defense attornies who clearly did better on the bar.

I love it. I think his community service should be making an appearance at the former prosecutor's weekly party.

what does pleading "no contest" mean ? i know that pleading "guilty" means that you are saying you did the crime but in what ways is "no contest" different ?

Recently the league has been imposing a one game suspension to anyone who pleads guilty to a crime. A no contest plea isn't the same as guilty, but with his history (spitting incident, DWI arrest he was acquitted of) the league may slap him with a game anyways.

I think that the NFL has nothing here. I expect no suspension at all on this. You cannot take a pattern of on field behavior, combine it it with a non convicted off-field incident and then suspend a player. My bet is that if something does happen the players association would have something to say about it.

No crime = No punishment

The only surprise is that it took this long.

The league should tread lightly considering the scum who brought the charges against him. Like Taylor's lawyer said, the witness who played against him was jealous and thought that he could profit off of this so he wouldn't have to steal cars anymore. Think again dirtbag...

Suspending Taylor for a game is essentially taking the side of convicted criminals who were trying to abuse the system. The league better put some thought into this or Sharpstein will bitchslap them too.

Taylor's lawyer also said that DJ Disco Grieco isn't out of the woods yet and this issue is not over for him.

you're not admitting guilt, but you're not going to contest (challenge) the charges either.

basically the worst thing that would come out of a civil case would be a settlement which im sure taylor will be able to afford because thats all the "victim" would want if they took it that far anyway.

Nice try but you don't have to plea "No Contest" and pay a $1000 fine per school and give ten speechs for not doing a crime .

Why is he an ass? Have you met him or are you just tired of watching him pummel Shockey and Toomer?

You weren't there so you don't know what happened. But as a fan of LT you probably would believe a career criminal's side of the story...

Good point. After that last game you have nothing to say. That was a disgrace.

Civil case? ha ha ha ha

Opening argument:
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury; after stealing Sean Taylor's ATV's my client would like 5 million dollars since he has lost approximately 20 AK-47 shells somewhere in Mr. Taylor's SUV and the residence where he was staying.
