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.

How many of you know the real story? Taylor flashed a lot of money. It is reported someone associated with the killers saw Taylor give his sister $10,000 in a paper bag. Taylor hired or paid one of the killers $300.00 for helping with yard work. This person stayed at Taylors house to help with a party for Taylors sister. At the same time Taylors sister dated a relative of one of the killers. Also, one of the killers thought or knew Taylor kept big money in the house. These guys thought Taylor was in Tampa with the Redskins when they went to rob the house. Taylor was home and the rest is history. And these people drove a long way to rob Taylors house. So, it was not strangers who killed Taylor. It was people who knew the sister and a person who worked for Taylor. They knew money was in that house. And they drove many miles to rob that house. As with anything, some people had a large role in the murder and some did not do so much. After a while they tell on each other and plea deals come up. Yeah these people killed Taylor but he made some big mistakes. With all that crime in Miami you don't flash money around. You don't let people know you stash big bucks in your house. And you play football and travel with the team. I say he did some things wrong himself. Why not give the sister a check?There are things I see that was wrong with the whole thing.I am not being mean or anything but you gotta know what people will do if given the chance. The killers knew too much about Taylors business and it cost him his life. Taylors Dad is a Cop. Why wasn't somebody house sitting the house? The house was broken into a week before Taylor was killed. Do you leave your babys Momma and the baby in a house that was broken into a week earlier? NO. I am mad Taylor got killed but he did some stuff that led up to his murder. And don't blame me for speaking my piece. Too many people knew Taylors business and it cost him.
