December 3rd, 2007 | Posted in Celebrity News, Sports | Print This Article
Three of the four men charged with the murder of NFL star Sean Taylor were denied bond.
Vanjah Hunte, 20, Eric Rivera, 17 and 18-year-old Charles Wardlow appeared in Lee County Circuit Court on Saturday for a preliminary hearing.
The fourth suspect, 19-year-old Jason Scott Mitchell, was not present in court on Saturday, but he will face the same charges as his accomplices.
The men were arrested in the Fort Myers area on Friday by the Miami-Dade County police. Wardlow’s lawyer, John E. Evans III, says, “They are charged with first degree felony murder, home invasion and burglary.”
According to Evans, three of the suspects have given police statements which “appear to describe a situation where they were going to take physical items from his (Taylor’s) home and had no idea Mr. Taylor was at home.”
Jason Mitchell was paid to do some yard work for Sean Taylor and Charles Wardlow recently attended a birthday party at Taylor’s house that was for Taylor’s sister, Tasha Johnson, who dates Wardlow’s cousin.
The police are still trying to determine who actually shot and killed Sean Taylor.
