How Low Can the Louisville DA Go in Order to Cover This Shit Up?

They have been trying to run their smear machine:
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.”

Glover, a convicted felon with a history of drug trafficking, turned down the plea offer from the Jefferson Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office. It would have resulted in a possible 10-year prison sentence on charges of criminal syndication, drug trafficking and gun charges.

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.
...
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.”

In the final version of the plea offer, according to Wine's press release, Glover still was to state that co-defendants used Taylor's apartment to store "proceeds from the trafficking operation."

The plea agreement also called for Glover to acknowledge that the person living at Taylor's apartment was "handling all his money."

Glover has said repeatedly in recorded jail phone calls and an interview with The Courier-Journal, that Taylor, a former girlfriend, was not involved in any drug operation and questioned why police would raid her home.
Going from a ten-year jolt to probation if only he agrees to lie about the culpability of a woman that that the cops shot? That's one hell of an incentive.

Kudos to the crook and his lawyer for not snapping that up.

But it shows how desperate the Louisville DA's office is to find some way, any way, to smear Breonna Taylor and to give some sort of justification for the cops raiding the wrong address and killing her.

Side note: Never trust the word alone of a guy who is testifying in a case and who either was charged in that case or is doing time on another matter. They have as much incentive to lie on the stand as the cops do.
