[Taylor's] Yukon was struck at least 15 times, and the police recovered 27 bullet cases, according to the police report.
... and only Taylor is charged? Where are the charges for those that shot up Taylor's car.
Hill and company will make great witnesses ... for the defense!

Since they aren't famous and this guy is an obvious tool...they haven't been charged.

It was just announced here in South Florida on the local NBC news that not only has Grieco been pulled from the Taylor case, he has now completely resigned from the DA's office. They showed some stuff from his website that included some partial pornography and how he was using the Taylor case as well as other high profile cases to promote his career as a dj. This Grieco guy is a homer. I hope something is brought against him, maybe a ethics violation or something. JH... any thoughts?

That's what I expected and I think I mentioned it previously.
He may have resigned because they may have told him, "Resign, or we'll fire you."
He also may be facing sanctions with the State Bar.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

I'd now like to see the charges against Sean dropped and the other two charged with theft and weapon charges for shooting up Sean's truck.

Redskins | Taylor's trial date likely pushed back again
Wed, 26 Apr 2006 21:52:46 -0700
Jason La Canfora, of the Washington Post, reports all scheduled hearings for Washington Redskins FS Sean Taylor's felony assault case have been postponed, according to members of the defense and prosecution. There will be a new judge and a new lead prosecutor, which will require additional time to prepare. Richard Sharpstein, one of Taylor's attorneys, and Ed Griffith, a spokesperson for the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office, said they expected the trial to be delayed before May 8 as a procedural matter. As of now, there are no new dates set for hearing or the trial.
How long wil this draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag out? Its frustration enough for us fans ... I wonder how Sean is coping. Will ST be retired and in the HOF before this finally gets to trial?
... meanwhile the thieves still have not been charged ...

Ya, now they (the local news) are saying that he was fired. The new judge and prosecuter better get this right this time!

Where does the "fair and speedy trial" come in here?
It doesn't seem fair to Taylor.

Amen... since when does the prosecution get extra time to get up to speed due to their own incompetence? I'm going to go watch some more Law and Order... Jack never gets extra time...

Still looks like it should be dismissed.
I just hope it is over with before the season starts.

When both sides agree to the continuance, there are no "speedy trial" issues.
The "speedy trial" argument only comes into play when the case is delayed over and over again either by the State or by the Court only.

I understand, but why would Taylor's team agree to a continuance now? Seems like they would say, "no... we don't care about your prosecution problems, we're ready now"... I guess they figure there's always a chance of getting the charges dropped or witnesses getting arrested a few more times if they keep pushing it back...

Maybe they are giving the prosecutor's office a chance to step back, evaluate the FACTS, and to dismiss the charges

Below is an excerpt from the Justice Building Blog in Miami... just thought it was interesting... also in the Blog, DJ Greico makes the list of nice procecuters in the building and Laeser makes the not nice list...
If Laeser looks at the merrits of the case and decides to pursue it as well, that makes me a little nervous... I was feeling like Greico was just an idiot trying to get some face time... doesn't seem like that's the case with Laeser...
"ED CARHART
While we were away, some comments about the Grieco/DJ/Redskins case involved Ed Carhart. Here is what 99% of you REGJB regulars who first walked into the Justice Building some time during the 1990’s do not know: Ed Carhart is one of the finest attorneys in the United States. He is a master at cross examination, and has handled some of the biggest cases in Miami. Do not let his chronic illness which has confined him to a wheel chair confuse you. Prosecutors underestimate him at their own peril. Those people whose ability to write posts are limited to strings of four letter words would do better to write less, and go in court and watch Mr. Carhart try that case. We understand Sean Taylor has several attorneys, but if those lawyers want to win, they should stay seated and let Mr. Carhart do his thing."

Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor has a new trial date in Miami on charges he pointed a gun during a dispute.
The trial had been set to begin Monday, but a Miami-Dade Circuit Court judge set a new date of July 10th during a brief hearing. It's the seventh time the trial has been delayed.
Taylor, who wasn't present at Monday's hearing, has pleaded not guilty and is free on bail.
The latest delay happened after the prosecutor in the case resigned from the state attorney's office after defense lawyers claimed he was using the notoriety to promote his side business as a nightclub disc jockey. The lawyer had posted links to news coverage of the case on a personal Internet site.
Taylor faces a faces a minimum of three years in prison on each of three aggravated assault charges.

Its not over yet ... the extensions that is ...

Judge Leonard E. Glick, who took over the case when Judge Mary Barzee was transferred to the civil division last month, granted the request for continuance from the state's attorney office, which recently changed prosecutors. The defense agreed to the continuance. ... The trial was first scheduled for Sept. 12 and had been continued to Oct. 24, Jan. 17, March 20, April 10, April 17 and then to yesterday. Glick is due to move to another division July 1, so Taylor might end up with a third judge before finally going to trial.

Why don't they just delay the trial until April 1st 2025, and save Redskins fans the worry?
Seriously, this does make Florida justice look pretty silly, from where I'm sitting. And I'm not just knocking the US criminal justice system for the hell of it here - this kind of nonsense goes on over here too. Either the guy is a danger to society and should be locked up by now, or he's innocent, and shouldn't have this thing still hanging over him now.
This is in the finest tradition of British movie farces. I suggest we call it "Carry on down the crapper".

I don't see any way this won't effect Taylor's coming into camp (on time) prepared either physically or mentally or both... the prosecuter's office has botched this from day 1... I hope the judge cut's them no slack whatsoever when they present their case...
