Lawrence Taylor Pleads Not Guilty

Former New York Giant linebacker and Hall of Famer, Lawrence Taylor, plead not guilty yesterday to an indictment that alleges he had sex with a 16 year old girl (statutory rape). Taylor's defense attorney , Arthur Aidala, said Taylor would challenge the girl's identification of him. Aidala also said the defense would look into whether all statements made in the case were voluntary. In this case, Aidala also said, "There is no plea bargain. There is no offer." Curiously and maybe the reason behind the not guilty plea with so much evidence against Taylor, Taylor's wife sat in the front row of the courtroom during the proceeding.
