Emmett Taylor III, 47, was convicted of beating Stephanie Mumford to death days before their planned wedding. Mumford was found dead at her residence after relatives called 911 on August 14, 2007, because Mumford and Taylor failed to appear at their wedding’s rehearsal. They were supposed to get married on August 18.
Police officers found a bloody frying pan inside the house. After investigating it was determined that Mumford was a victim of domestic abuse.
“Emmett Taylor’s conviction and today’s sentence ensures that justice for Stephanie Mumford will be served,” U.S. District Attorney Beau Biden stated. “I am proud of the excellent work on this case by prosecutors Paula Ryan and Peggy Marshall and their team, as well as the thorough investigation conducted by Detective Michael Maher and the Delaware State Police.”
