PROSECUTORS offered Breonna Taylor’s ex-boyfriend a plea deal to say that she was a drug trafficker weeks after cops shot her dead.
Jamarcus Glover, was offered a plea deal last month if he told cops that Taylor was a member of his “organized crime syndicate,” WDRB reported.
Glover declined to take the plea – but if he had, he may have been released from jail on probation instead of serving time.
Attorney Sam Aguiar, who represents Taylor’s family in a wrongful death lawsuit, told the outlet that the 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.”
Attorney Scott Barton, who represents Glover, confirmed that one recent offer included Taylor’s name, however, several other offers did not.
Glover has said repeatedly, in interviews and jail calls, that his former girlfriend was not involved in any drug operations.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Tom Wine said that the plea that included Taylor’s name was just a “draft.”
“When I was advised of the discussions, out of respect for Ms. Taylor, I directed that Ms. Breonna Taylor’s name be removed,” Wine told the outlet.
“The final plea sheet provided to Mr. Glover’s counsel is attached and clearly does not include Ms. Taylor as a co-defendant.”
Taylor was shot dead during a drug raid on her house on March 13.
According to a lawsuit filed by her family, her killing was the result of a botched drug-warrant execution.
Cops were looking for Glover, who allegedly dated Breonna two years ago.
But the man was arrested in a separate raid ten miles away on the same night officers broke into her apartment.
Leaked investigative documents from the Louisville Metro Police Department reveal Glover had mail sent to Breonna Taylor’s address, gave her phone number as his own and used a car she hired that was later connected to a murder, but no drugs or cash were found at Taylor’s home.
Breonna’s boyfriend Kenneth Walker – who was not the man wanted by cops – fired one shot with his legally held weapon, claiming he thought they were burglars.
Three officers returned fire with a hail of bullets that killed frontline medic Breonna.
