of the convictions related to McRae, ordering new trials on those charges. The three-judge panel found, among other concerns, that the trials of the two men should have been conducted separately. In 2014, McRae was resentenced to 17 years and three months in prison. "You did not merely burn a corpse, you, a law enforcement officer, burned a corpse to obstruct justice," Judge Africk said. He said the acquittal of Warren was irrelevant to McRae's own crimes. In 2015, McRae was granted a resentencing hearing after his obstruction of justice conviction was overturned entirely. In 2016, Africk reduced McRae's sentence to 11 years and nine months. Although he agreed to reduce the sentence under federal guidelines, he rejected calls for a greater reduction on the grounds that McRae was mentally disturbed at the time of the crime. Africk told McRae that "by hiding behind a blue wall of silence, you were hiding the truth." McRae was released from prison on April 2, 2021. The Glover case was incorporated into the plot of the television series Treme. The defendants cited local media coverage along with the portrayal in Treme when they sought a change of venue for the re-trial. On December 11, 2013, a jury acquitted Warren on both counts against him.
