Lawrence Taylor Needs a DNA Alibi
Several news organizations are reporting that former New York Giant Lawrence Taylor has a new “defense strategy.”
Apparently, “sources” are saying that LT will claim that he never had sex with alleged victim but instead engaged in a “masturbatory act.” These same sources reveal that LT will admit to being inside the hotel room with the girl but continue to deny that any sexual intercourse occurred.
So what’s the purpose of this strange admission (if it is even true)? The NY Daily News is reporting that this “masturbatory act” is designed to “scuttle” the third-degree rape charges against him.
Well, they are half right. LT must know that the police may have DNA evidence against him. There also are rumors of a condom being recovered by the police from the hotel room. If this is the case, LT may need a story to explain the recovery of his DNA from the hotel room. An easy explanation is sex. While LT’s explanation may be embarrassing, he may have to convince a jury that it’s true to avoid prison.
