Prosecutor Says Kidd Creole Killed Man in 'Gay Panic'; Rapper Says No
Associated Press reports. “The defendant confessed to pulling out a kitchen knife and repeatedly thrusting it into the body of a stranger on the street, killing him,” Dahl said. “Was there anything that would prevent him from simply running away from Mr.
Jolly? No.”Glover’s lawyer, Scottie Celestin, countered by saying the defendant feared a potentially fatal attack, not a sexual come-on, and that he stabbed Jolly in self-defense. “Ladies and gentlemen, this is New York City.
It’s 12 o’clock at night. Who’s saying ‘What’s up?’ to you with good intentions?” Celestin told jurors. “His fear for his life was reasonable.” He noted that Glover had been robbed previously and that Jolly was following him.
He also contended that Jolly’s death was caused by a sedative given to him at the hospital where he was treated, not the stab wounds.Glover was a member of the famed hip-hop collective Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, which in 2007 became the first rap group to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
