Glasgow told police that he did not know Town’s had a weapon. Glasgow said he was there to help Town’s locate his vehicle and the other two in the car were along for the ride.


Assistant DA Goodman asked if they used the phone to locate the vehicle wasn’t it the smart thing to do to call 911. After the shooting would it not been smart to call 911. Investigator Dodson said they encourage people to call 911.


Investigator Dodson said the damage to Glasgow vehicle was not major. Both vehicles were black in color.


Yarbrough asked if Town’s said he could not believe anyone stole his car. Investigator Dodson testified he did say that but also said his car was stolen.


 


In order to convict Glasgow on complicity, the state has to show Glasgow knew. On felony murder have to show Glasgow went to commit a felony. To charge with complicity you have to show intent or knowledge a crime was going to be committed. Yarbrough argued no evidence that Kenny Glasgow knew a crime was going to be committed. The three in the vehicle, to include Glasgow, gave the same story.


No testimony anyone of the three in the vehicle had any knowledge or intent to commit a crime.


Goodman completely disagreed with Yarbrough.


Judge Lewis asked to explain. Goodman said intent could be formed at anytime. Goodman said Glasgow never called 911 but Judge Lewis asked was that a requirement. Goodman said it is not.


Judge Lewis said if the shooter shot from the vehicle then there would be a problem. Goodman said After the shooting Glasgow turned the corner alleging he followed Town’s down the street. 


The evidence after Town’s Exited the vehicle no testimony Town’s ever re-entered the Glasgow vehicle.


The state grasped at straws saying Glasgow never attempted to flee the scene. Judge Lewis said that would have been worse. Goodman kept insisting that Glasgow never called 911. But not calling 911 was no crime.


Goodman said Glasgow assisted Town’s in finding the vehicle. But that was not a crime.


Houston County District Court Judge Benjamin Lewis, after arguments from council, Judge Lewis said he sees no evidence of any intent to commit any felony. The theory was he was complicit that his acts were linked but no evidence is seen.


Arguemeny by Yarbrough that a Capital Murder suspect can get bond. The court has to look at the offense committed and the likely he would be convicted of Capital Murder. Yarbrough said Glasgow has ties to community and if the court was to bind over on Capital Murder that bond be given.


Yarbrough said that he ask the court to dismiss the case.


At 3:46 PM the case is taken under advisement for a later ruling.
