In a court filing Friday, David Warren’s attorneys asked a federal judge to free him on bond while he awaits a retrial on charges he shot and killed Henry Glover without justification in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
District Judge Lance Africk didn’t immediately rule on Warren’s request.
Warren was convicted of manslaughter for fatally shooting 31-year-old Henry Glover in 2005.The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered a new trial for Warren in December, ruling Africk should have separated Warren’s trial from that of four other officers.
