Attorney’s Attempt to Justify Murder of Breonna Taylor by Offering Ex a Plea Deal
It has almost been six months since EMT Breonna Taylor was murdered in her home when a “no-knock” warrant was issued for the wrong apartment; since then neither Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, or Myles Cosgrove, the officers involved, have been charged.
Protests have raged on for weeks, and the Kentucky Attorney General, Daniel Cameron, has been highly criticized for his inaction. Now disturbing reports are coming forward about the length officials are going to, to justify the brutal murder of Taylor.
On Tuesday, we were told Breonna Taylor’s ex-boyfriend Jamarcus Glover was offered a plea deal, which would have required him to say that Taylor was part of his drug operation. Just now, the family’s attorney shared a picture of a plea deal that appears to show it is true pic.twitter.com/E9nsWQLKrb

The media is deliberately trying to implicate Breonna Taylor in mess so let me clear it up. Her live-in boyfriend at the time of her death’s name is Kenneth Walker. He is NOT Jamarcus Glover, an EX bf arrested in connection w/ drugs, who they offered a plea deal to implicate her

Glover was finally arrested in late August for drug trafficking, and the Jefferson Commonwealth Attorney’s office wasted no time developing a deal that would smear the reputation of Taylor and offering some justification for the warrant and her subsequent murder. The deal offered to Glover would allow him to be released on probation instead of facing 10 years in prison for multiple felony charges. In order to receive the deal, Attorney’s wanted Glover to implicate Taylor in a criminal syndicate working to traffic drugs throughout Louisville. If accepted, this would have given the officers reason to break down Taylor’s door in the early hours of March 13.
Q: If Jamarcus Glover is such a danger to our community as a drug dealer why was he offered a plea deal of no time in prison versus a 10 year bid for trafficking just to name #BreonnaTaylor as a member of his alleged criminal enterprise? #Louisville #BlackLivesMatter

Glover chose not to save himself and sully the image of a woman who is not even alive to defend herself. Glover did not accept the plea deal and is currently facing up to 10 years in prison for the crimes he has allegedly participated in. He did not give Kentucky officials the excuse that they seem desperate for; an excuse not to fully investigate and charge the officers involved. We hope that the AG has run out of excuses and will address the issues within the police department that would cause a “no-knock” warrant to executed on the wrong house. We hope that the three officers involved are charged accordingly. We hope that there is finally justice for Breonna Taylor.
