The legal problems of Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor continue to grow as he was indicted by a grand jury for rape and several other charges involving a 16 year old prostitute. He is free on $75,000 bail waiting for his next court appearances on July 13.
As more lurid details emerge, they portray the married L.T. in a bad light. His charge of rape carries a possible four year jail sentence. It will be interesting to see what type of legal strategy is pursued by his lawyers.
He could potentially cut his looses by pleading guilty. No doubt the prosecution will want some jail time. On the other hand, should he roll the dice and try for an acquittal by a jury?
The crime involves the issue of prostitution made murkier by the age of the girl. The past of L.T. does not help the situation.
The next few weeks should be interesting.
