| 21st December, 2007 - 9:43 am |  Topeka Capital-Journal - The gun that killed Washington Redskins' star Sean Taylor was placed in a sock and thrown into the Everglades, an attorney for one of the suspects said.
The four suspects have filed not guilty pleas to first-degree felony murder and armed burglary charges and are being held without bond. They are due in court for arraignment Friday.
Attorney Michael Hornung said Friday that his client Venjah Hunte is cooperating with prosecutors in hopes of a plea deal and wants to help find the murder weapon.
"We have started negotiations and discussions with the prosecutors in this case. Based on his substantial assistance, we hope it would be taken into account," said Hornung, who first gave the information to The Miami Herald.
Hornung said Hunte has told prosecutors that one of his co-defendants got out of the car on the highway known as Alligator Alley in the eastern part of the Everglades. One of the other defendants put the black gun in a sock and threw it about 20 yards onto the side of the road, Hornung said.
He said his client has been a credible witness and was "now filling in some of the missing pieces in this case." [READ] |
