Former Arkansas State football star-turned-NFL scout Blaise Taylor has been convicted of murdering his pregnant girlfriend and unborn child with a lethal dose of cocaine in 2023.
The 30-year-old was convicted on two counts of first-degree murder and two for felony murder following an eight-day trial in Nashville.
The jury deliberated for less than three hours, according toto multiple reports.
Taylor was arrested in March 2024 on four counts of murder after prosecutors say he intentionally gave Jade Benning a fatal dose of cocaine by slipping it into her pink lemonade while she was five months pregnant with their child in February 2023.
Defense attorneys suggested Benning may have overdosed herself.
He last worked in the scouting department of the Tennessee Titans.
