found guilty of manslaughter in April for the 2017 killing of John Jolly, a 55-year-old vagrant and sex offender.“The defendant had committed a senseless and unwarranted act of violence that took the life of one of the city’s most vulnerable populations — the homeless,” said prosecutor Mark Dahl, who asked that Glover be sentenced to 18 years in prison.The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer — whose band churned out chart-topping tunes such as “Freedom” and “The Message” in the early 1980s — had faced up to 25 years in prison.During the sentencing hearing, Glover claimed he’d been wrongly cast as a killer.“I’m very disappointed in the way that that this whole situation played out. I’ve been portrayed as a callous and senseless [killer]… which is far from the person who I am,” he said in Manhattan Supreme Court.
