He revealed that two former New Orleans police officers killed Glover and incinerated his body. Below is an update on a federal judge’s sentencing of those two officers.





From ProPublica, where this story was first published.

A federal judge on March 31 sentenced two former New Orleans police officers for killing Henry Glover and incinerating his body during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Judge Lance Africk sentenced ex-officer David Warren to 25 years for shooting Glover with an assault rifle, and sentenced former cop Greg McRae to 17 years for torching the man’s corpse as it lay in a car parked on the banks of the Mississippi.

Travis McCabe, a former police lieutenant, has also been convicted in connection with Glover’s death, but he is pushing for a new trial and has yet to be sentenced. Judge Africk is scheduled to hear McCabe’s appeal on April 21.
