{Huntington, West Virginia}...The murder trial for Kawan Taylor, 23, of Inkster, Michigan, was scheduled to start Monday in Cabell County Circuit Court. In May 2010, Taylor was indicted for murder and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. Taylor, who was charged with the March 2010 murder of Daryl Granberry, also of Inkster, Michigan, agreed to a plea deal that will drop the murder charge against him and allow him to plead guilty to first-degree robbery. While Judge Alfred Ferguson was going over the conditions and terms of the plea, Taylor said he was not aware that because a gun had been used in the crime he would not be eligible for parole for five years. A guilty plea on the robbery charge would give Taylor a 15 year sentence. The murder charge is still pending until a plea agreement has been reached. Taylor will be back in court Wednesday. Granberry fell off a roof on 10th Avenue in Huntington to escape a robbery attempt by Taylor.
