Roomies, it has been over 150 days since the untimely death of Breonna Taylor, and the three officers responsible have yet to be arrested However, that hasn’t stopped authorities from reportedly trying to use her name in conjunction with “organized crime” to make a plea deal.
According to @wdrb_news, “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 admit that Taylor was a member of his organized crime syndicate,” records show.
The details of his July 13th offer encouraged Glover to acknowledge that he and several other “co-defendants,” including Taylor, engaged in organized crime by trafficking large amounts of drugs “into the Louisville community,” but Glover refused to take the plea deal.

It’s also reported that Glover would’ve possibly avoided jail time had he taken the plea deal and received probation instead.
According to WDRB News, the crime syndicate organization sold drugs mainly from abandoned or vacant houses on Elliott Avenue in the Russell neighborhood.
Attorney Sam Aguiar, who represents Taylor’s family in a wrongful death lawsuit, stated that the plea offer “is absolutely disgusting.”
“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.”
The Defense attorney for Glover stated he received several offers from Commonwealth Attorney’s but only one of them contained Taylor’s name, the most recent offer and others did not, he said.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Tom Wine stated the plea that mentioned Taylor’s name was a “draft.” He also expressed that Glover “implicated” Taylor on several jail calls.
As previously reported, Kentucky District Attorney Daniel Cameron met with Breonna Taylor’s family. After the meeting, her mother Tamika Palmer stated,
The attorney general committed to getting us the truth. We’re going to hold him up to that commitment. At the end of the day, we have to (sic) bridge the community and the police,” she continued. That starts with the truth and justice. And we have to make real changes to keep this from happening to anyone else. The attorney general didn’t say which direction he’s pointing to, and I could be wrong, but after meeting him today I’m more confident that the truth will come out and that justice will be served.”
