M30o93H7pQ09L8X1t49cHY01Z5j4TT91fGfr Taylor Murder Almost Didn’t Happen

Published: Fri, December 07, 2007 - 4:38 pm

MIAMI (AP) - An attorney says the burglary that led to the
shooting death of Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor almost
didn't happen.
That's because one of the suspects heard a noise and wanted to
flee.
But Richard Sharpstein says the alleged triggerman told police
he was the cause of the noise and talked the others into
continuing.
Sharpstein has acted as a Taylor family spokesman and once
represented Taylor in an unrelated case.
Sharpstein says his information came from unreleased statements
to police given by the four suspects in the case, who are being
held without bail.
Those statements indicate that Scott Mitchell and Eric Rivera
Junior went to the house while Venjah Hunte and Charles Wardlow
stayed outside.
