MIAMI (AP) -- The bullet that killed Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor ripped first through his right leg and then the left, and possibly came from a 9mm handgun, an autopsy released Thursday said.

A lot of speculation here on FR a few months ago about this.

severed femoral artery?

‘Aside from the bullet wounds and a small abrasion on Taylor’s right biceps, no other injuries were noted on the player’s body. Toxicology tests found no drugs in Taylor’s system.’

As a Redskins fan, this is painful enough. But it sounds like the animal who pulled the trigger was actually trying to shoot Sean in the nuts. I want his removed with a butter knife at the sentencing, which should be held in an outside courtyard. With lots of cameras.

that quote reminds me of the scene from "a few good men":

"did you notice any signs of violence?"

"you mean besides the dead body?"

Looks like it. Cut that main artery in the leg and that’s it.

Band of Brothers, eh?

Guess they missed the 6 qts of blood on the floor.

severed femoral artery?

That's the way I read it. Poor guy never stood a chance even if 911 had been called immediately.

[Senator Goldwater]

Too bad. Sad chapter for the player, his family, the Redskins and their fans.

At least the death penalty is still enforced in the Sunshine State.

It has to suck to bleed out like that

Band of Brothers, eh?

Wow! First post after mine! I'm impressed!

At least the death penalty is still enforced in the Sunshine State.

Not only that but everyone to include the triggerman gets charged with murder.

We recently had a cop in Orlando shoot at three teen thugs coming out of his house. One drew on the cop. The cop fired, killed one and wounded another. They caught the third 17yo the other day.

Obviously the dead junior got the death penalty but the other two were charged with his murder. Pretty cool, huh?

I call that justice.

Up here in Maryland, the thugs would be folk heroes.

Would be good to see all three of them have a date with "Old Sparky".
