MIAMI (May 15) - One of five suspects charged in the slaying of Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor has pleaded guilty to charges of second-degree murder and burglary.
That suspect, 16-year-old Timothy Brown, was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder and armed burglary of an occupied dwelling.
Taylor died of massive blood loss after he was shot at his Miami-area home during a botched robbery in November.

What a waste. Sean Taylor realized his dreams and these pathethic young men have wasted their potentials. Thre is a crisis in the nation and everyone thinks it is just a black problem. Aren't we all citizens of this society?
Problems have a way of spilling over into the greater community. Then mabye attention will be given to this crisis.

Sometimes in order to get all the people involved, they have to offer a plea. Unfortunately this is how our criminal justice system works. It is effective at times, in this case, I don't think he got enough time for the crime he did. However, that is the sentence set forth for 2nd degree murder in the state of Florida.

This whole thing is a shame; and most of all a product of bad parenting , and the absence of a God fearing conscience. We as parents need to raise these kids without the materialistic street value of life and place some type of religion in their Lives!!!!!!!! Devalue the streets. Most of all place the meaning of living and the value of purpose into these want 2 be Thugs. I also push for more strict guns laws, governing weapons on our streets. Lawful or unlawfal. America we are out of control. We can NOT expect other countries to allow us to help bring Democracy nor order to their regions when we CAN NOT bring the same to our own. The key is to raise Intelligent well rounded offspring to create a safe and sane future for the well- being of the entire Human Society. Excuse me for going deep on you all , " I'm just tired of all this criminal unstableness.
