On August 22, James Glover, a Marietta, Ga. teenager, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for the robbery and assault of Paul Smallwood, a 94-year-old World War II veteran. Glover and an 11-year-old accomplice robbed Mr. Smallwood of $27 and a cell phone last September. Smallwood had lived independently until the attack. Now, due to his injuries, he is in assisted living.
A teenager could face 20 years in prison if convicted of beating and robbing a 94 year old Marietta man. The Marietta Daily Journal reports 15 year old James Glover will be tried as an adult. An 11-year old boy has already admitted his role in the crime, and testified against Glover at a hearing on Monday before Judge Juanita Stedman. The 11-year old was sentenced to two year of state supervision, but according to the newspaper, he’s been released from detention. Prosecutors say the boys tricked 94-year old Paul Smallwood into letting them inside his home, then knocked him down and hit him on the head with a rock.
