TAYLOR'S CAREER COULD BE OVER
The fact that Redskins safety Sean Taylor has been arrested for aggravated assault in connection with an alleged shooting in Dade County, Florida raises obvious questions regarding whether he'll be convicted, incarcerated, etc.
But given that NFL players charged with seemingly serious crimes generally have escaped significant consequences (with the exception of former Panthers receiver Rae "Father of the Year" Carruth, who is rotting in a Carolina cell after having his baby's momma killed), most folks who have heard about Taylor's arrest assume that the downside for him will be relatively minimal. After all, it's not like he actually shot someone.
Guess again.
Not about actually shooting someone. He didn't. In fact, it appears that the trigger never was pulled. But the end result for Taylor could end up being worse in Florida than it would have been in another state if he'd actually planted the slug in someone's ass.
Why, you aks? In 1998, Florida passed a law imposing strict prison terms on certain gun crimes.
Pulling a gun in connection with an aggravated assault results in a 10-year sentence. MANDATORY.
Regardless of whether Taylor can find a way out of this one, there's no doubt that he's in some serious doo-doo.
Nice knowin' ya, Sean. . . . Actually, it wasn't.
From PFT, so take it with a grain of salt.
I just found it interesting that no other media picked up on the 10-year mandatory sentence.
No matter what happens with Taylor this clearly shows that he's a bum. We should thank Green every day for being so high on Fitz and drafting him. The next two players on our board (and everybody else's) were Taylor and Winslow....
