Tay-K & Attorney Decline Plea Deal For Second Murder Case From 2017, Trial Date To Be Revealed Next Month

It has been eight years since Texas rapper Tay-K was handed down a capital murder charge after a home invasion robbery and murder. He fatally shot a man by the name of Ethan Walker in Mansfield, Texas. However, after being arrested he was released on bond and wildly cut off his ankle monitor while awaiting his sentence. From there, everyone knows how the story goes. Tay-K releases “The Race” during that time period, but then, he got into serious trouble while on the run. Police said that he had murdered a second victim, Mark Anthony Saldivar, in San Antonio this time. This all leads us to Tay-K recently declining the plea deal for that latter murder case in 2017.

According to XXL, video footage surfaced this past weekend from an unknown date of Tay-K and his attorney confronting the state. In the Zoom call, the rapper is dead silent during the whole interaction with the judge. Even though his attorney did all of the responding, Tay-K certainly felt that declining the plea deal was his final decision. Clearly, he feels very sure that he is an innocent man.

Tay-K Says He “Feels Like A Hamster” In Prison

Tay-K sent out several tweets regarding his alleged treatment behind bars.

The “Hard” rapper shared a series of tweets on Tuesday night where he described poor treatment in prison in brief. “I’m at war within,” he wrote on Tuesday.

“I feel like a hamster in here,” he continued. “they’re literally treating me like a ferret in here rn.”

Tay-K has been particularly active on Twitter in the past few months. He shared some bars while also updating fans on his well-being and his thoughts. At the beginning of January, he said that he wanted “1 chance at adulthood.”

He further explained that race played a significant role in the judge’s decision to try him as an adult. “I bet if I was a lil white kid they wouldn’t have gave me no 55 years for a crime I was alleged to play the most insignificant role in when I was 16,” he wrote.

At this time, he said that he wouldn’t have faced such a severe sentence. Instead, he likely would’ve faced a lesser punishment of having to complete a rehabilitation program.

“They woulda rightfully argued that my mind wasn’t fully developed and gave me rehabilitation and a 2nd (1st) chance at adulthood,” he continued.

Afterward, he pointed out that his co-defendant, a white girl of the same age, didn’t face any time.

“she ended up getting 10 years of probation without no deal…that girl @ home rn,” he added.

Following the trial, a judge sentenced Tay-K to nearly 100 years in prison. A jury found the rapper guilty of his role in Ethan Walker’s murder. Police identified Walker as the victim of a home invasion. A judge later ordered Tay-K to serve 55 years for the murder. Additionally, the court ordered another 30 years for aggravated robbery; and 13 years for two additional counts of aggravated robbery.
