Glover was tried on first-degree murder and other charges and his case was heard by a jury in March of 2022.According to the appellate court, jurors deliberated a day without reaching a verdict and went home for the night. Court employees collected the evidence that jurors had been using. Glover’s attorney, James Schwarzbach, asked for a mistrial, which Levitt denied.
