trial, as to what was in the envelope nor whether the documents secured by Hunter were
the same as those secured by her brother and given to his attorney.
Judge Nadel refused a stay of Hunters sentence despite the fact that the conviction is
being appealed based on several key factors; 1) Two jurors came forward immediately
after trial to saying that their true verdict was not guilty; after Judge Nadel refused to poll
the jury at the request of Defense Attorney Clyde Bennett II. 2) A third juror later came
forward the following week, saying that guilty was also not her true verdict, she also
accused the jury foreman of pressuring her into a guilty verdict. All three jurors signed
sworn affidavits. 3) After the verdict, Attorney Bennett also discovered that the jury
foreman lied on three key questions on her juror questionnaire. This was critical to
Hunters case as Juror Sandra Kirkham falsely stated that she was not a victim of a crime,
yet she failed to mention that she was sexually abused by a pastor as a teen and
admittedly distrusts pastors to this day. Kirkham is the poster board child for victims of
clergy abuse, with the non-profit organization Hope for Survivors, Inc. and other
organizations.
With the wave of his magic wand, Judge Nadel made four of Glovers more serious
charges disappear. This raises serious questions about Judge Nadels handling of Judge
Hunters case; and it begs the question about whether her case was more racial and
political than criminal?
