Background

  • Taylor arrested May 11, 2010 for Domestic Violence, Assault, and Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle; speed-trial waiver filed May 19; added Unlawful Restraint; trial set for June 24; Taylor pled no contest to Domestic Violence June 23 after speedy-trial issues; other charges dismissed; sentenced to 180 days; later court considered 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(9) notice and purported vacatur of plea.
