The news of the plea offer raised the question of whether law enforcement officials were attempting to provide an incentive to Jamarcus Glover to help justify the raid that resulted in Breonna Taylor’s death.

Breonna Taylor's former boyfriend was offered a plea deal by prosecutors earlier this summer that would have forced him to implicate her in an "organized crime syndicate," his attorney said Monday.

Scott Barton, an attorney representing Jamarcus Glover, a twice-convicted drug dealer, said initial plea sheets included Taylor's name among a list of associates, but that it was removed from later drafts. Louisville’s top prosecutor said that the offer was part of early draft negotiations with Glover and his lawyer that was removed by prosecutors and never part of the court record.

Taylor, 26, an African American emergency medical technician, was shot and killed during a police raid at her home in March. Her death has become a rallying cry against police brutality and racial injustice.

The news of the plea offer raised the question of whether law enforcement officials were attempting to provide an incentive to Glover to help justify the raid that resulted in Taylor’s death.
