Fifth Suspect Charged in Slaying of Former Redskin Taylor

Prosecutors representing former Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor's family claimed a fifth person has been charged in connection to the murder of the All-Pro.According to police reports, the suspect isn't even old enough to legally smoke a cigarette, as reported by ESPN.com: Miami-Dade County State Attorney's Office spokesman Ed Griffith said Wednesday that 16-year-old Timothy Brown is charged with first-degree murder under a sealed warrant.Taylor died of massive blood loss after he was shot at his Miami-area home during a botched robbery in November. The 24-year-old safety had made the Pro Bowl in 2006 and 2007.Brown is being held in Lee County. It's not immediately known when he'll be transferred to Miami-Dade County to face the charge.The trial for the four other suspects is supposed to start on Aug. 25 and the family will not be able to seek the death penalty because of the age of the suspects who were believed to have the biggest hand in the death of Taylor.
