Fifth person charged with first degree felony murder in Sean Taylor case
2008-05-14 20:30:00 [Note by Skin Patrol, 05/14/08 4:16 PM EDT ] Here is the video from AP news, I believe: Per Redskins Insider: A fifth person has been charged in connection with the shooting death of Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor, a spokesman in the Miami-Dade State Attorney's office said Wednesday. Timothy Brown, 16, of Fort Myers, Fla., has been charged with first-degree felony murder and armed burglary of an occupied dwelling, according the spokesman, Ed Griffith. Brown was arrested Tuesday and booked into a Lee County jail. It is unclear when he will arrive in Miami. No initial court appearance has yet been set... ...in a sworn statement to the police, one of the defendents, Rivera, said there were five, rather than four, people who drove together from Fort Myers to Taylor's house in Miami on the night of the break in. This comes after the recent news that the prosecutors in the case will not seek the death penalty for any of the defendants. Ostensibly this applies ...

Sean Taylor murder suspects remarkably stupid
2008-03-14 19:17:00 First, Anthony Brown at Hog Heaven is in front of me on the Sean Taylor murder case update. He says maybe Michael Wilbon was right: Washington Post columnist Michael Wilbon was roundly condemned when he wrote last November "he wasn't surprised" by Sean Taylor's murder. His statement was lumped together with ill-considered ignorant statements by Colin Cowherd and others who implied Taylor died for gangster sins. Florida authorities released statements by the suspects in the case that seem to confirm Wilbon's original point about the risks of trying to change your life when others around you "might not embrace such a change." You could say that Taylor died as a result of his generosity, rather than of any bad relationships. I agree wholeheartedly that Sean Taylor died for his generosity; as you'll read below, he paid a kid $300 dollars to mow his lawn -- I never got paid $300 to mow anyone's lawn -- and the kid allegedly reciprocated the favor by participating in a burglary-turne...

Sean Taylor still visits Children's Hospital
2008-02-25 00:14:00 Artist Jason Swain recently produced a large Sean Taylor oil painting that is, I'm told, currently hanging up at the Children's Hospital (ostensibly the one in DC). Per Jason: I just wanted to pass on some info about a portrait I had painted of Sean Taylor a couple of months back. The painting is a 6ft by 5 ft canvas showing a collection of 7 different images of Sean from his Miami days to the Pro Bowl and all three different Redskins uniforms. The painting was unveiled at the atrium of Childrens hospital on Jan24th and will remain there till March 21st. The painting is up for sale and a percentage of the sale goes to Childrens hospital. There will be some limited edition prints coming up on smaller canvasses and I want to tie these into Seans foundation in some way so I will let everyone know. Below you'll find a video of the different stages of the painting. As you well know, I'm a big sucker for charitable givings and as Jason pointed out, a portion of the proceeds go toward...

Chris Cooley shines at the Sean Taylor Pro Bowl
2008-02-11 19:25:00 Final stat line was 3 catches for 41 yards and a touchdown. Per the Post: Owens' first touchdown and one by the Washington Redskins' tight end Chris Cooley from a Hasselbeck pass helped the NFC cut the margin to 27-21 at halftime. Interesting coincidence that Cooley was taking passes from the guy his now head coach mentored. If Jim Zorn can enable Matt Hasselbeck to pass touchdowns to Chris Cooley, I have every confidence he can do so with others as well. Cooley will not be stopped. (By the way, for a very entertaining article on the perhaps changing nature of the NFL tight end, please head over here at Mile High Report. I enjoyed the post, you may as well.) The AFC was held to one sack by Vanden Bosch, and without having watched every single snap of the game I can only probabilistically claim that Chris Samuels wasn't responsible. So maybe he had a good game too. Or maybe he didn't. Nothing here informs either way. The NFC, just like the Redskins against Buffalo, honored ...

Sean Taylor is All-Pro
2008-01-10 20:39:00 Per the Official Site: Taylor earned the honor playing in nine games for the Redskins last year. He suffered a knee injury in Week 10, sidelining him for two games. Then, on Nov. 27, Taylor died in a tragic shooting at his home in Miami... Through 11 weeks, Taylor was leading the NFL in interceptions with five and also had 46 tackles (34 solo), one forced fumble and eight passes defended. A fitting tribute to a great player. It's impressive that he managed to maintain the league's lead in interceptions with nearly two games less than many of his peers. The honor speaks for itself, much as Sean Taylor's play on the field did, and thus I don't have to.

Suspect in Sean Taylor murder wants to be more cooperative
2007-12-21 21:40:00 Hat tip Sportz Assassin at Fanhouse on the latest development in the Sean Taylor murder trial. The attorney for suspect Venjah Hunte says his client is ready to sing: The attorney for one of the four suspects charged with killing Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor said Friday he is talking with prosecutors about a plea agreement in which his client might testify against the other suspects. As to what, exactly? The location of the murder weapon for one, which was allegedly thrown into the everglades wrapped in a sock. Hunte, through his lawyer, is saying that he had no idea they went into the house with a gun and that he was not in the house when Taylor was shot. I don't know how much assistance prosecutors need at this point since two confessions were already allegedly provided, but a murder weapon is lacking. Still, even if I knew the exact place where I launched a handgun wrapped in a sock into the Florida everglades and could reliably direct authorities to that spot, it's not...

Sean Taylor Voted to be Probowl Starter
2007-12-19 02:37:00 Update [2007-12-19 12:45:38 by Skin Patrol]: I hoped while knowing that Sean Taylor would be rightly recognized as the two-time Pro Bowler that he is. Hail to Sean Taylor who earned a spot in the Pro Bowl on time limited through no fault of his own. This was important to me. And others. Mister Irrelevant: Pro Bowl rosters have been announced, and, as a footnote to a tragedy, the Boom King is the peoples’ choice at free safety. I wonder if the NFC will play the game with 10 men on defense. I also wonder if Brian Moorman is freaking out right now. AOL Fanhouse: Just as the Redskins honored their fallen teammate in the first game after his death by playing with only 10 men on defense for the game's first play, the NFC Pro Bowl squad might similarly recognize Taylor. Hog Heaven: Taylor was the leading vote-getter at his position at the time of his death. The Redskins asked the league to keep Taylor’s name on the ballot. It is Taylor’s first full selection as a starter to the Pro Bowl. ...

Sean Taylor Makes Pro Bowl
2007-12-18 23:11:00 Our beloved #26/21 has become the first player to ever be posthumously selected to the NFL Pro Bowl. Sean Taylor was selected as the starter for the NFC squad, having led the NFL in interceptions at the time of his death and clearly heading towards his best season as a pro. I can't say how thankful I am for all the thousands of people who voted for him and giving him the respect he deserves. Rest in peace Sean.In addition to Taylor, 5 other former Canes were selected to the Pro Bowl. Reggie Wayne, Vince Wilfork, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and Devin Hester all made their respective rosters. Kellen Winslow II will probably be able to sneak in as an alternate, and Andre Johnson only missed out because of his injury. Good to see the U representing in the NFL as the best of the best.Jason Taylor was the only Dolphin to make the Pro Bowl. Can't say I'm shocked there. Nobody else on the roster is remotely deserving of mention, except the injured Ronnie Brown who almost certainly would have been...

Thousands Mourn at Sean Taylor's Funeral
2007-12-04 05:53:00 On Monday, many thousands of devoted friends and family of Sean Taylor attended the funeral service at the Miami University arena to pay their final respects to the late football star of the Washington Redskins #21 Sean Taylor who was murdered about a week ago at his home in affluent Miami suburb by thieves who broke into his home at random just to pillage the place, only to turn it into a tragic bloodshed incident. A fifth suspect is still on the loose according to Sawyer Smith, a lawyer for one of the men who shot Taylor in the leg and left him to bleed to death at the hospital.Many celebs, players, and sports fans were there to mourn his death and celebrate his life in the field as a member of the Redskins and the Miami Hurricanes, including OJ Simpson, Jessie Jackson who call for the end to violence, and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell."It's times like this that all of us struggle to find meaning in life," Goodell told the mourners. "The NFL was proud of Sean Taylor. He loved ...
What Happened - Week 13: Sean Taylor, Reggie Bush, Leon Washington
2007-12-03 21:29:00 The Redskins honored Sean Taylor yesterday by starting their first defensive play with only 10 men on the field. The Bills' Fred Jackson promptly tore off a 22 yard run. Now I understand the desire to honor Taylor but I'm not sure getting pushed one-third of the way to a touchdown by the Bills' 3rd string running back was really an honor. Your Week 13 leader in passing yardage? Luke McCown with 313 yards. I'm pretty sure I couldn't have told you what team Luke McCown was on when the season started. By the way, when did ReggieBushMania officially end? Was there an announcement? If so I must have missed it because he looks like a pretty average back right now. He still has fewer rushing yards than Ronnie Brown, if that tells you anything. On a completely unrelated topic, Texans' DL Mario Williams had 2 ½ sacks yesterday, his third straight game with a sack. He now has 8 ½ sacks for the year. How bad are the B...

NFL: In Mourning
2007-12-03 01:08:00 Today all of the world of professional football is mourning the death of Sean Taylor who have been brutally murdered a few days ago by Jason Mitchell, one of the four men who broke into his house to steal things the night Taylor was shot. Unfortunately, the Washington Redskins lost the game to the Buffalo Bills, today. But that's nothing compare to a much greater loss they're suffering right now. There was a moment silence carried out before the games begin and everyone was displaying "#21 Sean Taylor" in many different forms from towels to a white shirt with the inscriptions "In memory of Sean Taylor" Clinton Portis, another team member, reveals when he took off his jersey after he scored the team's only touchdown. His funeral is tomorrow. My condolences to the entire football team as well as the friends and family of Sean Taylor.RIP Sean.My prayers and thoughts are with you.

A Break In The Case of Sean Taylor; Four Arrested
2007-12-01 17:13:00 This week has been one of saddest, and perhaps most sordid ever for sports fans in the Washington region due to the gruesome murder of Sean Taylor; however, it looks like there has been a huge break in the case. From the Washington Times: Four young men, including three teenagers, were arrested late yesterday in the fatal shooting this week of Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor, police said.Miami-Dade Police Department Director Robert Parker confirmed last night that the four had been taken into custody, adding that homicide detectives who tracked the men to their homes in Fort Myers, Fla. ? about 160 miles from Taylor's home in Palmetto, Fla. ? obtained at least one confession. He did not elaborate.Mr. Parker said information obtained by the detectives, assisted by agents from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, showed that the men broke into the Pro Bowl player's home but were not aware that he, his fiancee and their 18-month-old daughter were in the house."They were...

Sean Taylor so hardcore he could make kids go to College
2007-12-01 00:19:00 Hat tip to Extreme Skins for pointing me towards the best written piece on Taylor I've read, yet. I am/have been growing weary of expending so much time trying to defend the character of a person I never knew, yet for whatever reason that has totally and completely consumed me and this space. I'm ready to let the police do their job and move on to football. I'm ready to put the tragedy behind me and focus on the sport I love while remembering a player that defined what I loved about it. Elizabeth Merrill of ESPN has knocked one out of the park (the sound you hear is me clapping) so forcefully that I think it will go a long way towards letting me move past picking a thousand internet fights over something (Sean Taylor's allegedly checkered past) that never really affected my life. He was a great football player. I cannot explain why I felt compelled to defend his character, which wasn't important to me so long as he was forcing fumbles and helping us win football games. Maybe I...

The Sean Taylor Narrative
2007-11-28 23:51:00 a story or account of events, experiences, or the like, whether true or fictitious. This will be a long post. I never knew Sean Taylor. I don't have access to his criminal record. I don't know what kind of kid he was growing up, how his father raised him, or what was in his heart. All I know about him is that he could hit on the field, which I saw, live and on television, and that he was one of my favorite players. I also know that he was arrested in the past. Due to this last bit, reminded immediately to readers the day of his attack, as well as some on-field issues that Sean Taylor has had, a narrative has developed about a young, troubled man who struggled with demons that perhaps finally caught up with him. That, at least, seems to be what Michael Wilbon (My Brain Says Rage responds) was saying: McLean, Va.: Will your opinion of Taylor change if this does not turn out to be a random incident (e.g. home invasion)? Michael Wilbon: No ... people's opinions are shaped by the w...

Sean Taylor Dies at Age 24
2007-11-28 00:06:00 Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor died after being shot in the leg. Taylor was shot Monday, the bullet piercing an artery causing massive blood loss. It's sad to think how much life he had to live and how much more football he had to play.Many don't know but this was the second time that Sean Taylor's house was broken into, in the last 2 weeks.Not only will Sean Taylor be missed as a person, his presence in the Redskins defense will also be missed.
