A federal grand jury Friday indicted three current and two former New Orleans police officers in the death of Henry Glover, who was shot to death in the chaotic days after Hurricane Katrina, U.S. Attorney Jim Letten announced.

Glover was shot and his body was left in a car behind the Algiers levee, which was torched by the officers, according to the 11-count indictment.

Former police officer David Warren, a rookie at the time, is charged with shooting and killing Glover. He was arrested and is set to appear for a bond hearing Friday before a magistrate judge, where prosecutors are expected to ask that he be held without bond until trial.

Warren acknowledged firing his weapon at a man meeting Glover's description near a 4th District substation. If convicted, he faces the possibility of life in prison or the death penalty.

Lt. Dwayne Scheuermann and officer Greg McRae are charged with assaulting civilians who came to Glover's aid, as well as burning Glover's body in a 2000 Chevy Malibu. Both are charged with obstructing a federal investigation. Both face a maximum of 60 years.

Former Lt. Robert Italiano and Lt. Travis McCabe are charged with obstructing justice and lying to the FBI. McCabe is also charged with lying to a federal grand jury. Italiano faces up to 25 years in prison, while McCabe faces 30, Letten said.

Only Warren has been arrested. Letten did not say whether he will require the other officers to turn themselves in.

If you can do the crime, you can do the time. How come they never hold themselves to their own rules?



Lt. Dwayne Scheuermann and officer Greg McRae are charged with assaulting civilians who came to Glover's aid...

Civilians rise up to stop an outright murder by the cops and they get beat down.

One of the sick things with this is that if any other Officers would have shown up during all of this they would have joined right in without a second thought.
