Jamarcus Glover, the focus of a series of Louisville police raids, including one in which officers shot and killed Breonna Taylor, was offered a plea bargain last month if he would say that Taylor was a member of his “organized crime syndicate,” records show.
As part of the July 13 offer, Glover was to acknowledge that over a period of time through April 22 he and several “co-defendants,” including Taylor, engaged in organized crime by trafficking large amounts of drugs “into the Louisville community.”
✁
If he had taken the plea, Glover could possibly had been released on probation instead of serving prison time. That decision would have been up to the sentencing judge.
✁
Attorney Sam Aguiar, who represents Taylor’s family in a wrongful death lawsuit, claims the plea offer shows “the lengths to which those within the police department and Commonwealth’s Attorney went to after Breonna Taylor’s killing to try and paint a picture of her which was vastly different than the woman she truly was.
“The fact that they would try to even represent that she was a co-defendant in a criminal case more than a month after she died is absolutely disgusting.”
✁
In response, Aguiar said the plea isn’t characterized as preliminary and is “literally a verbatim recitation of the plea sheet that list her under co-defendants.”
✁
Louisville defense attorney Ted Shouse, who formerly worked for the Kentucky Innocence Project, said the strategy seems to have been to destroy Breonna Taylor “because she is destroying them.
And they want Jamarcus Glover to do it for them because their efforts have failed. So they offer him a bribe, basically. All you have to do is smear her.”
Awww, more martyrbation from The President of the United States….

President Donald Trump on Monday urged a federal appeals court not to let Manhattan’s top prosecutor have his tax returns, saying “the deck was clearly stacked against” him, and said he would ask the Supreme Court to intervene if necessary.
The argument was made in a filing with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan, which on Tuesday will hear arguments on Trump’s bid to delay Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance’s subpoena for the tax returns during Trump’s appeal.
Absent a delay, Trump requested a stay to give the Supreme Court time to consider his request.
The district attorney is seeking eight years of tax returns from Trump’s longtime accounting firm Mazars USA in connection with a criminal probe of the president’s business practices.
Trump has fought the subpoena for a year. He suffered a defeat in July when the Supreme Court rejected his claim of immunity from criminal probes while in the White House.
The tax returns are unlikely to become public before the Nov. 3 presidential election. Vance has said the continued litigation has effectively given Trump the “temporary absolute immunity” that courts have rejected.
Two thoughts, dump all your social media accounts, that will improve your life immediately.Do not vote for Trump, that will improve your life starting in mid January. The time between now and then, could be a little rough however.
(In a high-pitched voice) Awwwwwwwwwww, stantisfernuthin’…………………………paralyzed, can’t find the right thing to do…………………………your lip is quivering…………………right-wing populists?:
Instead of “First thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers”, it’s now “First thing we do, let’s kill social media.” Sorry, this “boon” has become a plague worse than the Black Death.
THE SUPREME KANGAROO COURT left many loopholes for THE ORANGE FOG MACHINE to delay the release of his tax forms until after hopefully, he loses the election.
If something puts me in a funk, I always find that exposing myself to more of it snaps me right out and puts me in whatever the next worse thing than a funk is.

If you aren’t in a funk (or verging on clinical depression), then you’re not paying attention.

I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
