Fairfield Man Accused Of Killing Ex-Wife Seeks Permission To Work

FAIRFIELD, CT — A Fairfield man who is accused of murder and is claiming an insanity defense asked a judge Wednesday to allow him to operate equipment at a dormant recycling company, according to the Connecticut Post.

James Taylor, 75, is accused of shooting his ex-wife, Catherine Taylor, and assaulting his stepson in February at his stepson's home. Taylor is free on $2 million bond, but is under house arrest at a home on Bronson Road, the Connecticut Post reports.

Taylor's son, Chris Taylor, owns the never-opened recycling company in Bridgeport and claims to live in an illegal apartment on the property, according to the Connecticut Post. The judge will consider the request next month.
