Legal charges and 2017 killing of John Jolly Glover had been arrested for firearm possession in 1982 and 1995, and possession of a knife in 2007. In 2017, Glover was living in Mount Hope in The Bronx and had been working as a handyman and security guard in midtown Manhattan. According to security camera footage, on the night of August 2, 2017, he had a conversation with John Jolly, a local homeless man. The two left the field of view, and Jolly was stabbed to death. Glover admitted that he had stabbed Jolly with a knife he kept on his person, although he claimed he was provoked; in his initial confession, he said he thought that Jolly was making sexual advances on him. Glover was arrested and charged with murder. At trial, the judge instructed the jury to disregard his legal defense's claims of self-defense, as Jolly was unarmed and thus not capable of posing a deadly threat to Glover by New York law, weakening Glover's case. The jury found Glover guilty of first degree manslaughter on April 6, 2022. On May 4, he was sentenced to 16 years in prison plus 5 years supervision.
