An Alabama grand jury declined to indict the half-brother of civil rights activist Al Sharpton on a 2018 capital murder.
Court records made public Thursday show the grand jury returned a no bill in the case against the Rev. Kenneth Glasgow, a 55-year-old Alabama pastor who founded founder of the Ordinary People’s Society, a nonprofit focused on criminal justice issues and prison conditions.
He still faces unrelated charges of drug possession, assault on a police officer, and tampering with physical evidence.
Glasgow and Jamie Townes, 29, were charged in the killing of 23-year-old Breunia Jennings. She was killed that Sunday night when multiple shots were fired into her vehicle while she was driving o Allen Road.
The Honorable Grace L. Drake, a longtime resident of Solon, was an accomplished photographer, a wife and mother, and a politician. An avid Republican, she was someone who embraced the warmth, wit and compassion that crossed party lines, her colleagues said.
The 11th woman to serve in the Ohio Senate was known as a people person, trusted adviser, mentor and friend.
Mrs. Drake was born May 25, 1926, in New London, Connecticut and died Dec. 30. She was 94. She had lived on Briardale Drive in the Briar Hill subdivision in Solon since 1962.
âThe definition of âgraceâ in the dictionary is poise, elegance, forgiveness and courteous good will,â said former Republican State Rep. Marlene Anielski of the Sixth District. âHow perfect a definition of Sen. Drake,â the longtime friend said.
