Accomplice in Taylor case gets 29 years

Suspect in Taylor's slaying to serve 29 years in prison

(AP) -- One of five suspects charged in the slaying of Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor has pleaded guilty to charges of second-degree murder and burglary.

Defense attorney Michael Hornung said Thursday that according to the plea agreement, Venjah Hunte will serve 29 years in prison and cooperate with prosecutors.

Hunte pleaded guilty on Friday but prosecutors requested the plea agreement be sealed because investigators were pursuing the fifth suspect, Hornung said.

That suspect, 16-year-old Timothy Brown, was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder and armed burglary of an occupied dwelling.

Good question. The penalty for Second Degree Murder (in FLA) is 25-40 years.

25-40? How would they get 40? Second degree murder that ends in many killed or what? Does it depend on quality? How gruesome it is? Or both?detroitpistons0
