Attorney: Blaise Taylor will appeal murder verdict

On Wednesday, a jury convicted former Titans scout Blaise Taylor of murdering his pregnant girlfriend and her unborn child. Taylor plans to appeal the verdict.

"While we respect the jury system and the process, we must also respectfully disagree with today's verdict and plan to appeal the decision because Blaise did not do this," attorney Letitia Quinones-Hollins said in a statement. "He maintains that he is innocent and we will continue working to prove that. We understand and respect the pain that Ms. Benning's family and friends feel over her tragic death and the death of her unborn baby, but putting an innocent man behind bars is also a tragedy."
