 Talib preparing vigorous defense as he surrenders to police

Bucs cornerback Aqib Talib has been busy preparing a vigorous defense of charges that he fired gun shots at his sister’s boyfriend but finally surrendered to Texas police Tuesday morning on felony arrest warrant.

Talib, 25, has retained law firms from two states and hired a Dallas private investigator who has questioned neighbors that witnessed the March 21 shooting that rattled the quiet subdivision of Charleston Commons.

He posted $25,000 bail and was released after spending about two hours being booked in the Garland jail.

Talib and his mother, Okolo, are charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after police say they took turns firing gun shots at Shannon Billings, 40, who describes himself as the common-law husband of Talib’s sister, Saran.

Talib has retained noted Pittsburgh sports attorney Jay Reisinger, a member of the legal teams that represented Alex Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa and Andy Pettitte. He also has hired Dallas criminal attorney Frank Perez and H. David Lozano, a private investigator of Drake Security Patrol.

Although Talib’s attorneys declined comment Wednesday, privately he’s been adamant that he did not fire a weapon during the domestic disturbance. Talib told Clint Bowen, a co-defensive coordinator during his career at the University of Kansas, that only his mom pulled the trigger.

“I talked to Aqib two days ago," Bowen said. "I told him, 'I just read something about you firing a gun.' He said, 'Man, I didn't do a thing. It'll all come out soon.' He just kept saying that...He said, 'I didn't do that. That was my mom. It's all going to come out.'''

I'll give him credit. If he didn't shoot at him then fine, but either way, this kind of behavior needs to be dealt with harshly.

[Hate]

Surely, mom doesn't wanna see that gravy train come to a screeching hault.

[-ts]

What kind of behavior? Coming to the defense of your sister after her boyfriend beat the **CENSORED** out of her?

If he didn't fire shots at the guy while he was running away then I have no problem with him protecting his sister, though trying to pistol whip someone is moronic too haha.

Yeah but is mom willing to wait a few years in jail for it to fire back up?

Won't help mom if she's doing a stretch in the state pen.

Anderson did it for Bonds

At least she could work on her pool shooting skills.

What's sad is I think Anderson is probably a more loyal person than his mother will end up being.

Suppose Mom gets tried.  Don't you think Talib's high power defense team will help. 

A deal is made, Mom gets 2 yrs suspended sentence.  So what.

And Talib plays LCB for the Bucs.

"And they lived happily ever after."

[SunnyD]

If he didn't fire the gun won't he still get assault with a deadly weapon because of the pistol whip?

That was a theory thrown out there....mom falling on the sword for son...as soon as it happened.

Mom has some prior issues which could make jailtime mandatory.

That's EXACTLY what i was gonna bring up.



...that's it, douchbag talib..................throw your mom under the bus................now you're a good guy who deserves to play again......

[CyberDilemma]

So let's take a poll. What's worse? Shooting at your sister's "wife beating" common law husband OR throwing your mom under the bus to save your own skin?
