Case Overview: Timothy Taylor's Double Murder

[00:43] Charlamagne Tha God introduces Timothy Taylor as the "Donkey of the Day."
Timothy Taylor, a 38-year-old resident of New York City, has been convicted of murdering both his current and ex-wife within a span of less than two weeks. The case has shocked the community due to its chilling nature and the apparent motive behind the double homicide.

A news report from NBC 13 provides the factual backbone of the case:

• Conviction and Charges:
  Timothy Taylor pled guilty to second-degree murder and a deadly stabbing of his ex-wife, Tishawn Folks Taylor. Additionally, he faces charges for the killing of his current wife in Brooklyn, which occurred just days before the murder of Folks Taylor.

• Timeline and Motive:
  The murders took place inside Folks Taylor's home two years ago, where three children were present—two of whom are Timothy Taylor's biological children. The district attorney revealed that Taylor indicated to detectives his belief that his ex-wife "deserved it," differentiating the motives between the two killings.

• Domestic Violence History:
  The relationship between Timothy Taylor and Tishawn Folks Taylor spanned over a decade, marred by various instances of reported domestic violence, which included multiple police calls prior to the tragic events.

[01:32] Charlamagne Tha God emphasizes the gravity of the situation, stating:
"Timothy Taylor killed his ex-wife less than two weeks after allegedly killing his current wife. And he told police that unlike his first victim, his ex-wife deserved it."

Hosts' Reactions and Analysis

The hosts express a mix of shock, frustration, and condemnation regarding Timothy Taylor's actions:

• Charlamagne Tha God condemns Taylor's behavior vehemently:

  • "I am almost positive, 100 percent certain, without a shadow of a doubt, that the problem in both those relationships was you. Okay?"
  • "Whatever those women said you did when they were alive, you did it. Simple as that."
  • "I just don't understand why people can't just walk away, get divorced. Why can't people just separate?"
  • "If you don't like somebody anymore and don't want to be with them or they don't want to be with you, don't throw your life away by killing them, okay?"
