Trial Of Sean Taylor's Alleged Killer Delayed Again
MIAMI (CBSMiami) - The trial of the alleged shooter of Washington Redskins star safety Sean Taylor has been delayed again.
Miami-Dade County Courts said the trial of 23-year-old Eric Rivera, Junior will not begin on Monday as was previously scheduled.
The delay was due to scheduling conflicts and availability of witnesses.
Taylor was murdered six years during a botched robbery of his home. Rivera and four other suspects from the Ft. Myers area have been charged with the killing.
A fifth suspect pleaded guilty to murder and burglary charges.
Rivera and the other four defendants pleaded not guilty and will be tried in separate trials. All face a possible life sentence if they're convicted.
