Antler Lodge Shooting Plea Offer Rejected

Bob Joseph/WNBF News [file][/caption]A Binghamton man is opting for a trial over a possible reduced prison sentence in the shooting death of another man outside the Antler Lodge in the City last year.

31 year old Joshua Taylor has rejected a plea deal for a reduced charge of manslaughter that still would have carried a sentence of 18 years to life in prison.

He’s accused of shooting 33 year old James High to death on Chenango Street in July 2015.

The U.S. Marshal's Service Fugitive Task Force tracked Taylor down in New York City and returned him to Binghamton.

Taylor is due to go on trial in March.
