20-year-old sentenced to life in prison for killing retired army veteran and stealing a minivan
Jeremiah Glenn was found guilty of both capital murder and aggravated robbery, just two weeks after his 20th birthday, according to officials.
Usually, 16-year-old defendants are prosecuted as juveniles, but the Galveston County District Attorney’s Office argued to the court to certify Glenn as an adult because of the nature of his crimes, his criminal history before the offenses, and an attempt to escape while awaiting trial. The court certified Glenn to stand trial as an adult.
During the punishment phase of the trial, Assistant District Attorney Virginia Frank presented additional evidence showing that when Glenn robbed and murdered Lee, he was already on felony probation with the juvenile justice system for stealing a car in 2017. Additional evidence showed that Glenn attempted to escape from the Galveston County Juvenile Justice Center while being held for trial.

Chavez-DeRemer’s victory makes her the first Latina congresswoman from Oregon, a distinction also sought by 6th District Democratic candidate Andrea Salinas. The district was previously held for seven terms by moderate Democrat Rep. Kurt Schrader and was targeted by the GOP, which saw the 5th as vulnerable after the long-time incumbent's primary defeat by progressive candidate Jamie McLeod-Skinner.
