    Like most celebrities/football players, I'm sure he'll walk... The Redskins signed a veteran safety today, though, "just in case."

    The Miami-Dade state attorney intends to prosecute Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor, who recently was charged with a felony of aggravated assault with a firearm, police said Thursday.

    Taylor, a former University of Miami football player, turned himself in to Miami-Dade police June 4 after he was charged with attacking a man he said stole his all-terrain vehicle.

    According to the police report, Taylor drove up to two men in his car, pointed a gun at them and demanded to know where his ATV was.

    Taylor left, according to the report, but returned about 10 minutes later and jumped one of the men. One of Taylor's associates allegedly chased the other man with a baseball bat.

    The state attorney's office told police it believes there is sufficient evidence to prosecute Taylor, Miami-Dade Detective Mary Walters said.

    State attorney spokesman Ed Griffith said the office will not announce its plans until Taylor's arraignment June 24.

    Police still are investigating Taylor's claim that shots were fired at his car in retaliation, Walters said.

    The Washington Post reported Thursday that Taylor hired a new attorney, Edward Carhart, a Miami defense lawyer and former prosecutor, to defend him.</div>

    For some reason, I find that funny.

    Taylor will get off. There isn't enough evidence.

    Taylor will get off because he's an NFL player and has enough money to hire a slick lawyer. Evidence won't be a factor.

    PA is right. That's exactly why Taylor will get off. Celebrities and anyone playing in professional sports seem to be above the law, no matter how severe the charges are.

    I don't know about that. Jamal Lewis just got out of jail and a pretty good wideout named Rae Carruth is in there for life.

    A handwritten "dying declaration" by his girlfriend, (carrying his baby, with four bullets in her back) that said that he pulled his car in front of hers to block her escape sealed his fate.

    That and he ran from the cops after posting bail.

    There was no getting around that.

    My point was not all football players get off. Lewis and Carruth for examples.

    2001 was a horrible year for charlotte, Carruth killed his wife, and i cant remeber the basketball players name, but he played for the hornets, and 2 players were street racing and one of the hornets died. His wife came to my school and we saw the car, you couldnt even recoignze that it was a porsche.
