Police investigate body found in storage unit

A man whose body was found in a storage unit Wednesday morning may have been homeless, Colorado Springs police said. The man was believed to be staying in the Century Street Self-Storage unit, 3020 North El Paso Street, police Sergeant Joel Kern said. The man’s identity has not been released. The death is being investigated as suspicious because the man was found with “traumatic injuries,” Kern said. An autopsy, scheduled for Thursday, will determine cause and manner of death. If ruled a homicide, it will be the city’s eighth and the 10th overall in the county this year. The man was discovered at 5:32 a.m. while police were performing a welfare check, Kern said. It was not known whether the man was renting the storage unit, but Kern said it’s not unusual to hear about someone using the space as a shelter. “It’s more common than people would think,” Kern said.

Man in storage unit was shot to death

The death of a presumed homeless man whose body was found in a west Colorado Springs storage unit has been ruled a homicide, police said Thursday. Marcus Paul Anderson, 57, was found shot to death Wednesday morning in a unit at Century Street Self-Storage, at 3020 North El Paso Street. Anderson was believed to be living in the unit. It is not known whether Anderson had rented the unit, police said. Anderson’s body was discovered at 5:32 a.m. while police were performing a welfare check. The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office had put out a missing persons alert for Anderson on Tuesday. He was last seen May 29, the office said. Anderson is the city’s eighth homicide and the 10th overall in the county this year. Police did not release information about a possible suspect. Anderson’s identification was released by Colorado Springs, police said Thursday, after his autopsy was completed. This time last year, the city had investigated nine homicides, police said. Anyone with information about Anderson’s killing is asked to call police at 444-7000 or leave an anonymous tip on the Pikes Peak Area Crime Stoppers Tip Line at 634-7687.

Man charged in girlfriend’s killing tied to 2nd homicide

A man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend has been tied to a second death in Colorado Springs, police said. Glen Galloway, 44, already in custody, is suspected in the shooting death of Marcus Paul Anderson said Friday. Galloway and Anderson were acquaintances, police Sergeant Joel Kern said. Anderson was presumed to be homeless and living in the Century Street Self-Storage unit where he was found shot to death Wednesday, police said. His body was discovered at 5:32 a.m. while police were performing welfare check. The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office had put out a missing persons alert for Anderson on Tuesday. He was last seen May 29, the day before the body of Galloway’s ex-girlfriend, Janice Nam, was discovered. Nam was found shot to death in her home May 30. For years Name had repeatedly warned police about Galloway’s increasingly violent and “obsessive” behavior, according to court records. Seven times in 2014, Nam said Galloway made her fear for her life. She wrote repeatedly in court documents she was convinced he wouldn’t stop until she was dead. “I have no doubts about him killing me,” Nam wrote in her first protection order request, referring to March 3, 2014, incident in which she asked Galloway to move out and he threatened to use a gun against her and her sister. Galloway turned himself in to El Paso County Sheriff’s deputies the day after Nam’s body was found. He remains in custody with no opportunity for bond.

Police look at suspect’s path Investigation: Gun linked to two homicides has missing round unaccounted for

The extent of Glen Galloway’s alleged killing spree remains unknown. The gun Galloway reportedly used to deliver fatal shots to his ex-girlfriend, Janice Nam, and to Marcus Anderson was turned over to Colorado Springs police with 15 rounds of ammunition in the magazine, four rounds short of capacity, arresting documents said. Police recovered three spent casings at the shootings, the documents said. Ballistics tests matched the casings to Galloway’s Springfield Armory 9mm pistol, but one round remains unaccounted for. “We have no evidence to suggest there are additional victims at this time, however we continue to investigate both homicides,” police Sergeant Joel Kern said. Galloway, 44, remains in the El Paso County jail on two separate allegations of first-degree murder. He hasn’t tried to conceal his part in either death, according to the documents. Galloway had the loaded pistol and two full magazines in his backpack when he turned himself in to the El Paso County Criminal Justice Center about 8:10 p.m., May 31, the day police identified him as a suspect in Nam’s death. Galloway also was driving Anderson’s stolen vehicle, documents said. But there are gaps in the timeline his actions from when Galloway visited Anderson’s storage locker to when he turned himself in. Surveillance video at Century Street Storage, where Anderson’s body was found in the unit he rented and was said to be living in, was too blurry to make positive identifications, but police said Anderson’s truck arrived about 7:05 p.m. May 29. The driver, wearing a dark-colored shirt, and the passenger, wearing a light-colored hooded sweatshirt, were moving boxes in and out of the unit until about 20 minutes later, when the man in the dark shirt entered the unit and never returned. The man in the sweatshirt drove the vehicle away about 7:50 p.m., the documents said. Police said Anderson, 57, was found wearing a dark-colored shirt. Ten hours passed before Galloway resurfaced, this time appearing on surveillance video in Nam’s home about 5 a.m., May 30. He was positively ID’d wearing a light-colored hooded sweatshirt, documents said. Galloway’s alleged attack on name lasted 40 seconds, the documents said. He broke into Nam’s 6042 Miramont Street home through a back sliding-glass door and walked up to the second floor where Nam’s bedroom door showed evidence it had been forced open, documents said. Nam, 28, was found in bed; she had been shot twice in the head, documents said. Galloway turned himself in roughly 38 hours later. Service records show Galloway was an Army sergeant, serving as a scout and helicopter mechanic, from 1991 to 1997. He served in Hawaii for three years and was relocated to the 4th Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment at Fort Carson before being honorably discharged. He never deployed to combat, records show. A friend of Anderson’s led police to the discovery of the man’s body June 8. The friend, who rents the storage unit next to Anderson’s, saw Anderson’s missing person report and told police Anderson was last seen May 29 outside his unit. Anderson was sitting in his recently purchased 1987 Toyota pickup and Galloway was sitting in the passenger seat, documents said. During their talk, Anderson told the friend Galloway would not allow him to use the restroom on his own and was forcing him to urinate in a plastic bottle in the truck. Soon after, the two drove away, documents said. Anderson’s younger sister, Melissa Anderson, said she’d never heard the name Galloway but it wasn’t uncommon for her brother to reach out to a stranger who needed help. Anderson often did odd jobs for people after he was laid off from his metal-working job and developed severe arthritis, she said. “He was the kind of person who would never say no to you,” Melissa Anderson said. “He put his trust in the wrong person.” Anderson became homeless within the last year when he couldn’t make rent, Melissa Anderson said.

He and his six siblings moved to Colorado Springs as teenagers after their parents disappeared. Anderson was close with his father, having learned mechanics from him, and he took the man’s absence hard, Melissa Anderson said. Despite social anxieties, slight learning disabilities and near illiteracy, Anderson was smart, Melissa Anderson said. He could build computers and motors from spare parts, weld, and later taught himself how to blow glass, talents which were never realized into employment, she said. “He made many mistakes in his 57 years, but he made many people happy as well,” Melissa Anderson said. The family is hold a celebration of Anderson’s life next month in Cheyenne Canyon; details have not been released.

Police: Storage units can harbor homeless, crime

A nondescript Colorado Springs storage facility near Interstate 25, two men were moving boxes in and out of a unit one evening last month when one of them never came back out on his own. More than a week later, the first police officers arrive at the opened locker were most certain that a dead person was inside. They smelled a strong odor and spotted a pool of blood. Their suspicions were confirmed - homeless man Marcus Anderson, 57, was found shot to death inside a unit he rented at Century Street Self Storage, which, on most days, sits quietly in an industrial area of north Colorado Springs. It was the latest example of the dark underworld of storage facilities can be a place homeless people call home, despite the lack of electricity or a toilet. They also can be a place where crimes happen and bodies are dumped. Living in a storage unit is not safe or legal, but it does occur - even in Colorado Springs, which has about 20 facilities several storage firms contacted by The Gazette refused to comment about company policies or were unreachable. “I don’t know if individuals who are experiencing homelessness are really looking at that as an opportunity for housing for them,” said Lieutenant Jeff Jensen, who supervises the Colorado Springs Police Department’s Homeless Outreach Team, adding that police do not keep stats of storage unit crimes. “There are so many folks who are homeless in our community right now and very, very few times our officers are being sent to a storage facility because of an issue with a homeless person residing there.” Most incidents at storage facilities are handled by management or owners and never reach the police. “If that person rented the storage facility, and they were in breach of contract, then that would be a civil matter between that person and the owner of the facility,” Jensen said. In some cases he said, people living in storage facilities could be arrested for trespassing. This year, two Colorado Springs storage facilities were the settings for homicide victims. And in a January case, a homeless man’s attempt to start a fire with kerosene inside a unit on the city’s southeast side led to several explosions and damaged 12 units. Officers were again called to a storage facility June 8, 10 days after surveillance footage caught Anderson moving items out of his unit with a man later identified as Glen Galloway, according to court documents. About 20 minutes later, Anderson disappeared and Galloway drove away with Anderson’s pickup. In April, investigators allege that James Woo of San Francisco killed his ex-girlfriend Julie Tureson, 33, and left her body handcuffed to the passenger door of her SUV inside his rented unit at a Colorado Springs Public Storage. For someone who was laid off and can’t afford an apartment, though, a $50 storage unit can be a very attractive housing option, said Al Harris, editor of SpareFoot, an online market place for storage facilities. “Four walls and a roof,” he said, describing a unit. “It seems like a great idea to save money, but it’s really not.” Harris said homeless people living in the units is “not uncommon,” so storage facilities across the country are working on upgrading their security systems, including installing an alarm that will sound when a locker is opened during business hours. Though most facilities have cameras, he adds that “it’s up to the owners to be vigilant” about people who are trespassing or trying to break in. On the evening of January 26, as temperatures dropped into the 30s, Shawn Daniel Thomas allegedly lit a fire in a tin can at a unit he rented at Citadel Self Storage, according to his arrest affidavit. His attempt to keep warm backfired. Large flames erupted, eventually damaging a dozen units. Asked if people were living inside the units, a storage facility manager who did not want to be named said at the time that “with every storage unit on Earth, there’s always that possibility.” He added that such an activity is not allowed at the facility. Police don’t have data on crimes at storage units, so stories about what happens inside is mostly anecdotal, said Sergeant Joel Kern. In his 15 years of patrolling the city streets, he’s stumbled across two or three homeless people every year trespassing into a storage facility, usually because they needed a place to sleep. “They probably won’t get hassled as much or they feel much safer from street crimes,” Kern said of the arrangement. A 2014 SpareFoot survey or 41 homeless nonprofits across the country suggest that the issue is “unusual but not unheard of.” Closer to home, homeless people are finding their own places to spend a night.

In the past four months, 112 people have checked into the Salvation Army’s Montgomery shelter in Colorado Springs, the organization reported. The majority wrote on their check-in forms that they stayed with friends and family, at a hotel or at a rental property the night before. Thirty-five others admitted to finding a car, a bus or son the street to sleep. But 24 homeless people didn’t specify where they were the previous night - which could mean an abandoned building or even a storage unit, said Jeane Turner, an organization spokeswoman. The Salvation Army’s goal is to help them get back on their feet. “What we strive to do is transition people out of being homeless when they come to us,” Turner said. “It is important for us to know where they’ve been sleeping, how long they’ve been homeless and know as much about their situation so we know what steps they need to take to get out of their situation.” Harris believes the issue with unit renters abusing their lease will always exist. “There’s always going to be people down on their luck,” he said.

29 homicides locally in 2106 Four families waiting for answers on suspects

Gary Thomas-Harris, Jr. had passed on a full-ride scholarship to play soccer in South Carolina and instead was pursuing semipro status with San Antonio Football Club when he was gunned down in a McDonald’s parking lot in Colorado Springs. On July 16, the 20-year-old was grabbing a late-night snack after what was meant to be his going-away party before moving to San Antonio, where his mother, stepfather and siblings had just settled. He was a rising star, restlessly pursuing his dream to play soccer professionally, his mother Katherin Harris said. Then he was gone. “Our family is suffering,” Harris said over the phone from San Antonio. “He had a lot of talent, and we spent a lifetime of effort and training and so much love and devotion into honing that to give him the opportunity to live his dream and a coward took that away.” The killing remains one of four unsolved homicides, out of 29, in Colorado Springs and El Paso County in 2016. No arrests have been made, and no suspects have been named. Suspects also have not been named in the deaths of Oscar Navarette-Moreno (May 7); Guillermo Javier Escobar-Torres (July 15); and Oscar Martinez (December 6). That doesn’t mean the mystery of those killings will be permanent, though, according to officials with the Colorado Springs Police Department and the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office. Martinez is the only unsolved homicide of seven handled by the Sheriff’s Office last year, and Investigations Lieutenant Cy T. Gillespie said he’s “confident that will be cleared, too,” as have all of their homicides the last two years. City police’s clearance rate is less than perfect, but it’s still higher than the national average. Numbers turned over by the department show the solve rate for homicides hasn’t dropped below 78 percent in the last seven years, and peaked at 91.3 percent in 2012. This year, it’s at 87 percent, with three of the city’s 22 homicides unsolved. The national clearance rate continually hovers around 64 percent “We’re the 40th largest city in the country - well, 39th, 40th, or 41, it’s constantly changing. When you put that into perspective, wow,” police Lieutenant Howard Black said. The city’s above-average clearance rate doesn’t console Thomas-Harris’ family members, who have learned little more about his death in the five months since his July 16 shooting, Harris said. One thing they do know: Gary knew his killer. Evidence suggests he walked toward the shooter, showing “a comfort level,” Harris said. The family is pulling together a $5 - $10,000 reward for information about Gary’s death, which they hope will entice witnesses to come forward. A lack of apparent leads hasn’t stopped the investigation into Thomas-Harris’ death, nor the deaths of the other victims, Black said. “This stuff is important to the detectives. They are working for those families,” Black said. “It becomes personal on some levels, wanting to ensure that you’re getting a killer off the streets.” Despite Colorado Springs’ population growing by more than 50,000 since 2010, the number of homicides has not followed suit. The 22 homicides reported in 2016 is a seven-year low for the city, according to statistics. The record high was 32 in 2011. Outside the city limits, the six-year average in El Paso County is 5.5. What has spiked is the number of domestic violence assaults, which translated to several homicides, Black said. The county reported four deaths at the hands of domestic violence last year and the city reported three. They included Julie Tureson, Janice Nam, Valerie Hill, Darnell Reedy, Karen Canfield, Alicia Christmas-Moore, and Karyn Lorbiecki. Nam had filed numerous restraining orders against her estranged boyfriend, and Tureson had complained about her former boyfriend’s behavior to law enforcement. Records indicate none of the victims had protections in place.

“Do I think that protection orders are effective in dissuading people from getting involved in further domestic violence issues, I think some of them do, certainly,” Gillespie said. “But respect for the restraining order is an individual thing. If somebody wants to do something violent a piece of paper isn’t going to stop them.” In 2015, only one of the Sheriff Office’s deaths was related to domestic violence, and Black said he can remember a year where the city reported 10. At 20-years-old, Thomas-Harris wasn’t the youngest victim - 15-year-old Sir Armstrong, 18-year-old Navarrete-Moreno and 4-year-old Montana Glynn were younger. But he’d achieved significant recognition for his talent and wasn’t done reaching. The Colorado Springs native was on a traveling soccer team in high school, trained in Europe, was accepted into Germany’s Viktoria Aschaffenburg soccer club, been honored with some of the state’s highest sport accolades, and earned a full-ride scholarship to play soccer with Newberry College in South Carolina. He still holds Sierra High School’s record for goals scored in a single season: 21. Nothing will bring the son, brother, friend and soccer star back, but while family waits “in limbo until there is justice for Gary’s World Scholarship Fund. The scholarship will allow underprivileged youths to participate in competitive traveling soccer programs and provide soccer equipment to poorer programs, Harris said. “That was his complete passion and that was stolen from him,” Harris said. “The only thing we can do now is put this organization together and hope that something positive comes out of it, that somebody with an immense amount of talent like he had might be able to go the distance, where Gary will no longer be able to. “(Gary) wasn’t perfect, no kids are perfect, but at the end of the day nobody deserves this.”

Death penalty trail beginning with mountain of paperwork

The first step in trying to bring a man to his death through the courts: tackling a mountain of paperwork. Players in El Paso County’s first death penalty case in a decade began laying out a schedule to debate dozens of legal filings anticipated before Glen Galloway faces two jury trials focusing on back-to-back gun slayings for which he has been charged. They’ll be addressed at a marathon week of hearings set to begin April 24. “We’re literally talking about upwards of 50 motions,” said prosecutor Reggy Short in relaying the exhaustive legal battles surrounding capital cases. In hashing out next steps in the case, 4th Judicial District Judge Gregory Werner approved a request by the defense to postpone Galloway’s murder trials - previously scheduled for April and June - until June and July. But the judge denied a request for an even longer postponement. Dan King, lead defense attorney form Galloway’s legal team from the Colorado State Public Defender’s Office, asked the judge to hold off on scheduling a trial until 2008. “I can’t imagine a circumstance that we would be able to pronounce ‘ready’ in July,” King told Werner in making his unsuccessful push for a half-year delay. Galloway, 44, a former Fort Carson soldier, faces multiple counts of first-degree murder in the slayings of his ex-girlfriend, Janice Nam, and a homeless man named Marcus Anderson, records show. A motive hasn’t been made public. Part of the reason that defense attorneys in death penalty cases pick so many fights during the initial trail phase is that if an issue isn’t raised in the trial court, it’s usually ineligible for appeal, said Denver attorney Phil Cherner, who defended the death- penalty case against Nathan Dunlap, who in 1993 killed four employees at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in Aurora. Dunlap is one of three inmates still on Colorado’s death row. Cherner suggested there would be “hundreds” of motions filed in the Galloway case rather than the 50 suggested by Short. “It’s vital that they be given the time and resources now to do it correctly,” Cherner said. “If they don’t there’s a second round of defense people who point a finger and say, “They didn’t do it right.” Botched cases can add years and years to the appeals process, Cherner said. King, who exclusively focuses on cases where the death penalty is being sought, entered his appearance on behalf of Galloway at a brief hearing Tuesday, joining public defenders Kim Chalmes and Julian Rosielle at the defense table. Prosecutors Short and Rachael Powell also received additional back-up. Joining them will be El Paso County prosecutor Donna Billek and Senior Assistant Attorney General Dan Edwards. Edwards previously joined prosecutors in the 18th Judicial District in the prosecution of Aurora theater shooter James Holmes, who received life in prison after a jury rejected calls for the death penalty. El Paso County District Attorney Dan May was present at the Galloway hearing but did not enter his appearance as part of the prosecution team. May declined to say why his office chose to pursue death against Galloway, citing a gag order in the case. Longtime legal observers say it is the first time May has done so since taking office in 2009.

Prosecutors previously sought the death of cop-killer Marco Lee in 2007, under then-District Attorney John Newsome, but Lee ended up pleading guilty in exchange for a life sentence. To qualify for the death penalty, a crime must exhibit certain aggravating factors, including multiple victims and cruel circumstances. Prosecutors are expected to disclose soon which aggravators they intend to prove, and to supply a list of witnesses who can prove them. They have 21 days to do so from the time they filed their intent to pursue a capital case. That notification was made February 13 in Galloway’s case. It remains to be seen how many of those documents will be made public, however. Judge Werner indicated in court he would defer to prosecutors when it comes to the decision of whether to submit their pleadings in a way that the public will have access to them, or if they file them as “suppressed” documents viewable only by attorneys involved in the case. The judge allowed for the possibility of members of the media challenging the status of suppressed legal filings.

Hearings start Monday in Springs death-penalty case

A marathon week of hearings is set to begin Monday in El Paso County’s first death-penalty case in a decade. Five consecutive days have been cleared in a 4th Judicial District courtroom for attorneys to argue motions in the case against double-murder suspect Glen Law Galloway, who’s accused in the back-to-back shootings last year of his ex-girlfriend and a homeless man. Fourth Judicial District Judge Gregory Werner set aside the week in anticipation of dozens of legal filings in what will be a hard-fought courtroom contest. It’s unclear whether all that court time will be filled. El Paso County prosecutors will be joined by Dan Edwards of the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, who helped prosecute the death-penalty case against Aurora theater shooter James Holmes. Galloway’s public defenders will be joined by Dan King of the public defender’s death-penalty team. King was Holme’s lead attorney and also helps represent admitted Planned Parenthood shooter Robert Lewis Dear, Jr., whose prosecution on suspicion of killing three people and wounding nine on November 27, 2015, remains on indefinite hold while Dear receives treatment at the Colorado State Mental Health Institute at Pueblo. Galloway, 45, an ex-Fort Carson soldier, faces multiple counts of first-degree murder in the slayings of his ex-girlfriend Janice Nam and a homeless man named Marcus Anderson, records show. The two were fatally shot on consecutive days in May, several months after Galloway cut off an ankle monitor and went into hiding in the wake of a conviction for stalking Nam, court records show. Police and prosecutors haven’t disclosed whether they have discovered a motive that likes the deaths. The last time El Paso County prosecutors pursued the death-penalty was 2007, when the office sought the death of cop killer Marco Lee. He pleaded guilty in exchange for a life sentence in prison without the possibility of parole. Two other death-penalty prosecutions are pending in the 18th Judicial District, comprising Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties, but recent efforts suggest prosecutors face an uphill battle. Two recent attempts to obtain the death-penalty - including against Holmes - failed after juries instead imposed life terms, raising questions about the millions spent in the pursuit. Convicted murderer and rapist Gary Lee Davis was the last death row inmate to be executed in Colorado, in 1997. He is the only Colorado inmate to be executed since the death penalty was reinstated in 1975.

Judge: Murder trial will start January 2 Jury panel expands for former Carson soldier

Six hundred El Paso County residents will ring in 2018 with a jury summons for the county’s first capital case in a decade. Whittling that group down to a panel of 18 people - including six alternates - will take upward of a month, and those jurors will likely be required to hear evidence for another couple of months after that, the presiding judge said. Those arrangements were detailed in court Monday as 4th Judicial District Judge Gregory Werner scheduled a January 2 start date for jury selection in the case against double-murder suspect Glen Law Galloway. Galloway, 45, an ex-Fort Carson soldier, had previously been scheduled for separate trials in June and July, but Werner agreed to a six-month postponement at the request of the defense. Galloway is charged in the back-to-back fatal shootings last May of Marcus Anderson, a homeless man, and Janice Nam, an ex-girlfriend whom Galloway had previously been

convicted of stalking when their relationship soured. Authorities haven’t publicly announced how they believe the deaths are linked, except to say both victims knew Galloway. The tattooed defendant appeared in an orange jail jumpsuit and with a freshly shorn buzzcut for the first of what could be several days of hearings on pretrial motions this week. He was admonished by Werner for twice failing to stand as the judge entered court. Trail logistics kicked off the discussions, with Werner announcing that the El Paso County District Court might need to renovate its largest courtroom to accommodate the trial. Murder trials are generally heard by a jury of 14 or 15 panelists, including two or three alternates, and jury selection usually takes no more than two days. The judge said he will order a larger-than-normal panel for Galloway to avert the risk of a mistrial in case panelists fall ill. Prosecutors and the defense clashed in court Monday over more than a dozen motions, with the judge saying he would issues yet to be decided is whether both murders will be detailed at the same trial or split into separate trials. That topic will take center stage Tuesday, with attorneys for Galloway expected to argue that holding a single trial could prejudice a jury against him. The defense also wants to bar testimony about stalking claims by Nam, arguing that she concocted allegations. Galloway’s legal team, which includes two of the lawyers who represented Aurora theater shooter James Holmes, say Galloway was convicted of stalking partly because of ineffective assistance from a prior attorney, who they say failed to properly question Nam on the stand about inconsistencies in her statements. Werner said he will decide Tuesday whether to permit testimony on that issue. The hearing continues at 9 a.m. Although the judge reserved the entire week in court to hear arguments, he said that arguments might conclude sooner than expected.

DNA on hammer may link cases Galloway’s lawyers want separate trials

The question of whether a double-murder suspect will face one death penalty trial or two could come down to a hammer found at a crime scene. Prosecutors on Tuesday asked a judge to reconsider a previous order granting Glen Law Galloway separate trials in the May 2016 killings of Marcus Anderson and Janice Nam, saying that recent forensic testing should change his mind. That testing showed that a hammer found at Nam’s Colorado Springs home after her shooting in May contained DNA from Anderson, a homeless man who was slain roughly 12 hours earlier in a storage unit where he’d been living. Because the two victims didn’t know each other, prosecutor Rachel Powell said, the only reasonable explanation is that Galloway, who is charged with first-degree murder in both killings, carried the implement from one location to the other during a spree - information she said a jury should have when considering Galloway’s potential guilt. The short time separating the killings and a claim that Galloway drove Anderson’s truck to Nam’s house to avoid being detected by her or her neighbors are among other links showing the cases are intertwined, she argued. The legal battle took center stage Tuesday as attorneys faced off in court over dozens of pretrial motions in El Paso County’s first death penalty prosecution in a decade. Fourth Judicial District Judge Gregory Werner said he intends to issue a written ruling on that matter and up to 80 others discussed in court this week by June 5. The judge’s announcement marked an early conclusion to issues that were expected to take up to a week to litigate. According to the defense, the issue of whether Galloway’s cases will be tried together or separately has the potential to shape outcomes in the case. Galloway and Anderson were acquainted and once lived together in a motel, his attorneys told the court. Galloway also lived with Nam before their breakup, making it an open question how the hammer ended up at her home, they argued. They told the court they intend to argue self-defense in the Anderson homicide, alleging that Anderson was high on methamphetamine when he became the “initial aggressor” in a confrontation that led Galloway to fear for his life. As to Nam, Galloway’s attorneys are considering a mental health defense. They say that presenting both cases simultaneously would hamstring Galloway’s constitutional right to testify in one group of allegations while remaining silent about the other. Attorney Kim Chalmers offered few details about Galloway’s mental health, except to say his legal team is still evaluating a potential claim of not guilty by reason of insanity in the Nam case. The defense on Tuesday also sought to persuade the judge to bar testimony Nam’s prior allegations that Galloway had stalked her prior to their break-up - an allegation that helped spawn new legislation this year aimed at protecting stalking victims. Although Galloway was convicted of stalking in early 2015, his death penalty team says he received poor representation from a previous attorney.

Galloway’s attorneys called a succession of police officers from Colorado Springs and Fountain in a bid to show that Nam hadn’t been properly cross-examined at her trial about inconsistencies in her statements. For example, on a day that Nam claimed Galloway called her three times from his cellular phone, violating a restraining order, a police officer found the calls had actually come from a pay phone that couldn’t be tied to Galloway. Time sheet records from Atmel, Galloway’s former employer, showed that he was clocked in at a time Nam said he had keyed her car, they argued. The defense took aim at another damaging allegation first made public in an arrest affidavit - that Galloway told Nam during their March 2014 break-up that “I have a gun and I know how to use it.” Called to the stand by the defense, a Colorado Springs police 911 call taker and a police officer each testified that Nam didn’t relay the claim that day, and the defense says that the allegation was made for the first time nearly a year later, in a request for a restraining order. Attorneys for Galloway also attacked claims that he stole underwear from Nam’s home, left her faucets running, causing a flood in her backyard, and that he took appliances from her home without asking in what prosecutors frame as a campaign to demonstrate his “control” over her. The judge on Monday set a January 2 start date for jury selection for at least one death penalty trial related to the killings.

Death penalty trial delayed Jury selection to begin in March in double-murder trial of former Carson soldier

An El Paso County judge Wednesday granted a two-month delay in the upcoming death penalty trial of an ex-Fort Carson soldier accused in back-to-back killings. Jury selection in the case against Glen Law Galloway will now begin March 5, 4th Judicial District Judge Gregory Werner ruled in scrapping the previously scheduled January 2 start date. Picking a panel is expected to take up to two months, likely pushing opening statements into May. Werner approved the postponement after Galloway’s attorneys complained they hadn’t had an opportunity to review more than 60,000 video clips f rom the home surveillance system of Janice Nam, one of two people Galloway is charged with killing. Although the El Paso County District Attorney’s Office provided the videos more than a year ago, the files were in a format that a defense expert said couldn’t be opened without proprietary technology, public defender Julian Rosielle told the court. Prosecutors resubmitted the files in a readable format December 18. Attorneys for Galloway also complained they had been unable to interview more than 40 people who may have “critical” information about the case. The attorneys also said delayed rulings by the judge on various legal matters had impaired their preparations. In granting the continuance, Werner agreed that the late release of video surveillance was “troubling” and said a 60-day postponement was” not unreasonable.” But he said the defense should have raised flags over the video evidence sooner, and suggested that its strategy has been “calculated for a delay.” The defense could have filed pleadings sooner, and dragged its feet on other critical matters, the judge said. Galloway, 45, a former Army helicopter mechanic, is charged in the fatal shootings in May 2016 of Marcus Anderson, a homeless man, and Nam, an ex-girlfriend whom Galloway had previously been convicted of stalking when their relationship soured. Authorities haven’t announced how or whether the deaths were linked, except to say both victims knew Galloway. Prosecutors announced in February they intended to seek the death penalty in the case, making it the county’s first death penalty prosecution in a decade. Twelve hundred El Paso County residents - believed to be the largest jury pool in county history - will receive summonses to be considered for the jury. Court administrators approved a $50,000 project to enhance audio-visual equipment in time for trial. El Paso County maintenance staff also enlarged a jury box to accommodate a panel of 12 jurors plus six alternates. Galloway’s trial postponement comes days after the judge issued multiple written rulings, including one that threw out a defense request that Galloway’s pistol be excluded from trial.

GAZETTE EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

Suspect in two ’16 murders obsessed with his own death

Double-murder suspect Glen Law Galloway thinks of death “pretty much every waking moment of my life.”

Prepared by: Page 8 of 22 January 7, 2019 Dwight Haverkorn Homicide VICTIM(S): Marcus Paul Anderson Sunday, May 29, 2016 SUSPECT(S): Glen Law Galloway

“How can I not think about?” he asked in describing the anxieties of facing a trial where his life hangs in the balance. “How can any sane person not think about it?” Days before what would have been the start of El Paso County’s first-death-penalty trial in a decade, Galloway invited a Gazette reporter to interview him at the county jail. Speaking into a phone through a video visitation screen, he complained about his prosecutors and judge, emphasized his lack of criminal history and described conditions at the jail as “cruel and unusual punishment.” But when it came to discussing the allegations, Galloway drew a line: “Right now, I am not talking about the murder case,” he said. Galloway, 45, has pleaded not guilty and is being held without bond pending a trial scheduled to begin march 5 with two months of jury selection. The Gazette interviewed him December 19, a day before a judge postponed a January 2 trial start. Opening statements aren’t expected until May - delayed by an extensive jury selection that will begin with a pool of 1.200 county residents, believed to be the largest in county history. Court administrators have prepared by enlarging a courtroom jury box and spending just under $50,000 on courtroom audio-visual upgrades, a work order showed. Galloway is the first person to face the death penalty in the county since cop-killer Marco Lee, who avoided trial in the December 2006 shooting of Colorado Springs Officer Ken Jordan by pleading guilty to murder in exchange for a life sentence without parole. Galloway - a former Fort Carson helicopter mechanic who then worked for semi-conductor manufacturer Atmel before it left town - is accused in back-to-back fatal shootings in May 2016. Authorities say he killed a homeless man named Marcus Anderson and left his body in a Colorado Springs self-storage unit before driving Anderson’s vehicle to a home-invasion murder targeting Galloway’s estranged girlfriend, Janice Nam. Galloway had been on the run since he was convicted of stalking Nam five months earlier - on the day he cut off his ankle monitor before skipping his sentencing, authorities say. Anderson’s vehicle allegedly provided cover as he drove to Nam’s home, where she was twice shot in the head as she slept. The Denver Post reported. Nam had tried to get help, obtaining a restraining order after reporting hat Galloway told her, “I have a gun, and I know how to use it.” The case inspired a state law that forbids granting bail between a conviction and sentencing for people convicted of felony stalking or habitual domestic violence. Galloway initiated contact with The Gazette, saying he was willing to be interviewed after the judge adjourned a December court hearing. He said he knew he would be breaking a case gag order but wanted to go on record with complaints about his prosecution. In stead of addressing the allegations or protesting his innocence, Galloway alleged evidentiary violations and said prosecutors were pursuing his death over the objections of Nam’s sister and parents, who he claimed favor a plea offer to life in prison. He said the family expressed opposition to a death-penalty trial in a November email to prosecutors - a detail that couldn’t immediately be verified with the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office amid documents restrictions surrounding the court process. But after a request by the newspaper, a clerk for presiding District Judge Gregory Werner provided a defense pleading that alludes to an email by Nam’s sister, Isabelle Wolfe, concerning “the wishes of Ms. Nam’s family regarding the death penalty and a potential for a plea offer.” The legal motion does not provide details, though, and the judge’s clerk said the email was not in the court’s possession. A representative of the county clerk’s office said only the judge could approve the email for release. Wolfe couldn’t be reached, and another of Nam’s sisters, Shin Nam, declined to address the issue. “I don’t want to talk at all,” she said. “We’re very private people.” Defense attorneys have asked that Galloway’s prosecutors be removed from the case for failing to disclose an email exchange with Wolfe in its entirety, claiming a prosecutor said in court it did not involve “anything regarding the investigation” though the email disclosed the location of Janice Nam’s surveillance system. The prosecution had not filed a response to the allegations as of Friday, and attorneys on both sides are barred from discussing the case by judge’s orders. Galloway’s reference to sharing “any sane person’s” view of the death penalty comes despite hints in court that his defense might try to question his mental state. During a pretrial hearing, one of his public defenders spoke of possibly pursuing a self-defense claim in Anderson’s death and arguing that Galloway then suffered a mental break before Nam’s death. In December, though, the defense said it was moving to drop a bid to indorse a mental health defense, which would have cleared the way for prosecutors to request an independent mental health exam. Galloway wouldn’t address questions about his defense during the Gazette interviewed, which he terminated after 23 minutes - seven minutes shy of the 30 minutes allowed. He also wouldn’t say if he was willing to plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence, and he declined to elaborate about his complaints about jail conditions. “I’m not supposed to be talking to you right now,” he said. “I’m upset with the way this judicial system is.”

Weekslong jury selection to begin in death-penalty case

El Paso County’s first death-penalty trial in a decade officially begins Thursday with the weekslong process of picking a jury. Although jury selection marks the start of trial for double-murder suspect Glen Law Galloway, it could be two months or more before opening statements are delivered, 4th Judicial District Judge Gregory Werner has estimated. In preparation for the case, the county jury commissioner sent out 2,800 summonses to county residents, in what’s believed to be a local record. Still, the number pales in comparison with the 9,000 Denver-area residents called to a Centennial courthouse for the 2015 trial of Aurora theater shooter James Holmes. In all, 1,200 people are expected to report for questioning over the next two weeks - spanning 300 a day on Thursday and Friday and again on March 15 and 16. On each of those days, 150 people will report in the morning and another 150 will report for an afternoon session, District Administrator Scott Sosebee said. Splitting the prospective jurors into groups of 150 should ease the crowding, Sosebee said. The courthouse routinely sees crowds of up to 300 potential jurors at a time on Monday and Tuesday mornings, he said. On busy trial days, it’s not uncommon for lines to stretch from the courthouse entrance to Tejon avenue, where it occasionally doglegs all the way to Vermijo Street a half-block south as people wait to get in. “We’re actually expecting less crowds than we normally would on a high-volume jury day,” Sosebee said. He predicted few problems getting prospective jurors into the courthouse, and said the court security team, which is overseen by the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, will decide is staffing based on how the crowds develop outside the courthouse. Potential jurors will fill out questionnaires and be questioned in person by attorneys and the judge. Galloway, who turned 46 last month, is accused in back-to-back killings in 2016 of a homeless man, Marcus Anderson, and Galloway’s ex-girlfriend, Janice Nam, whom he was forbidden to contact under a prior conviction for stalking. The case spurred a new law denying bond before sentencing for anyone convicted of felony stalking or being a habitual domestic violence offender. The trial marks the first local death penalty case since cop killer Marco Lee averted a death penalty by pleading guilty to murder charges in 2008. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole plus 167 years.

Death penalty jury pool narrowed

Jury selection for El Paso County’s first death penalty case in a decade passed a key hurdle this week with the conclusion of two months of individual juror questioning. A panel is expected to be seated by the end of the next phase - group questioning - scheduled for May 10-11. Opening statements are expected May 14. The defendant, Glen Law Galloway, is accused in back-to-back killings in 2016 of Marcus Anderson, a homeless man, and Galloway’s ex-girlfriend, Janice Nam, whom he was forbidden to contact under a prior conviction for stalking. His trial marks the first death penalty case here since cop killer Marco Lee averted a death penalty trial in 2008 by pleading guilty to first-degree murder in exchange for a life sentence without parole plus 167 years. Nearly 3,000 El Paso County residents were summoned to 4th Judicial District Court to be considered for Galloway’s panel, in what a jury commissioner described as the county’s largest pool in memory. Prospective jurors reported for duty March 5 to fill out written questionnaires. Those remaining in the pool were ordered to return for individual questioning, in which they were called into court one at a time to discuss their thoughts about the death penalty and whether they could be neutral. That process spanned eight weeks and wrapped up on Thursday, leaving 112 candidates heading into group questioning.

Death penalty trial set to begin Ex-soldier accused of double murder

Prepared by: Page 10 of 22 January 7, 2019 Dwight Haverkorn Homicide VICTIM(S): Marcus Paul Anderson Sunday, May 29, 2016 SUSPECT(S): Glen Law Galloway

After more than two months of jury selection, testimony in El Paso County’s first death penalty trial in a decade is about to get underway. Opening statements at the double-murder trial of former Fort Carson soldier Glen Law Galloway are expected to begin at 9 a.m. Monday. His trial is expected to last six weeks. - followed by several more weeks for a penalty phase should he be found guilty. Galloway, 46, a one-time helicopter mechanic who later worked for Atmel, a Colorado Springs semiconductor manufacturer, faces multiple counts of first-degree murder in the May 2016 slayings of his ex-girlfriend Janice Nam, and a homeless man named Marcus Anderson. The two were fatally shot on consecutive days in May 2016, several months after Galloway cut off an ankle monitor and went into hiding. The case is expected to serve as a test of whether El Paso County prosecutors can succeed where others in Colorado have fallen short: persuading a panel to impose death. In 2015, two juries in a month rejected the death penalty, including the panel that convicted Aurora theater shooter James Holmes - a case that involved some of the same players involved in the Galloway prosecution, including Daniel King, chief trial deputy for the Colorado Public Defender’s Office, and Senior Assistant Attorney General Dan Edwards. King, alongside another Holmes attorney, Kristen Nelson, will be assisting Colorado Springs public defenders Kim Chalmers and Julian Rosielle in Galloway’s defense. Edwards joins three El Paso County prosecutors, Rachael Powell and veterans Reggy Short and Donna Billek. Prosecutors previously sought the death of cop-killer Marco Lee in 2007, under then-District Attorney John Newsome, but Lee ended up pleading guilty in exchange for a life sentence. District Attorney Dan May has previously declined to address why the office elected to pursue death against Galloway, citing a gag order in the case. The District Attorney’s Office has since indicated that it is considering death penalty cases against at least two other local murder defendants, Diego Chacon and Marco Garcia-Bravo, who are charged in the execution slayings of two Coronado High School students over what authorities characterize as a gang hit. Preparations for Galloway’s trial include $50,000 worth of upgrades to the courtroom where he will be tried, including two new wall-mounted video monitors, a document reader and a “smart” podium capable of powering electronic devices. Nearly 3,000 El Paso County residents were summoned to 4th Judicial District Court beginning March 5 to be considered for Galloway’s panel, in what a jury commissioner described as the county’s largest pool in memory. That process spanned eight weeks and wrapped up Thursday, leaving 112 candidates heading into group questioning. A jury of 18, including six alternates, will hear evidence in the case.

Death penalty trial set to begin Ex-soldier accused of double murder

A Colorado Springs man facing the death penalty hurled a laptop across the courtroom Monday before opening remarks at his trial, disrupting the start of El Paso County’s first capital case in 10 years. The outburst by Glen Law Galloway, 46, occurred during a closed session, outside the presence of the jury and the public, and led the judge to temporarily eject the defendant from his own trial. Galloway, an ex-Fort Carson soldier accused in back-to-back slayings in May 2016, missed the prosecution’s opening statement but was permitted to return for the defense’s remarks - this time wearing restraints. “No one gonna talk to me now, or what?” he said as settled back in at the defense table amid stony silence from his court- appointed public defenders. Galloway, with close-cropped gray hair, was in an orange jail jumpsuit, having refused to wear a suit. The judge said he will leave it to Galloway what he wished to wear each day. The rocky start came in a trial that officially began March 5, with two months of questioning during which a field of 3,000 county residents was winnowed to a jury panel of 18, including six alternates. Testimony is expected to last six weeks. If the jury convicts Galloway, it must decide whether to impose life in prison or death - a process that also could take weeks. County prosecutors last sought the deaths penalty in 2008 against cop killer Marco Lee, who pleaded guilty in exchange for a sentence of life in prison plus 167 years. Galloway’s jury - 10 men and eight women - wasn’t present for discussions about his outburst or he enhanced courtroom security that resulted. Galloway had asked the judge for a “conflict hearing,” which usually indicates an irreconcilable dispute between a defendant and his defense team. After the judge refused his request for new representation, the defendant grabbed a laptop belonging to deputy public defender Julian Rosielle, one of his attorneys, and threw it across the room, “narrowly missing my court reporter,” 4th Judicial District Judge Gregory Werner said in recounting the incident on the record before the jury returned.

Galloway has a history of trying to “control” how his trial will be conducted, Werner said, echoing a theme - control - that ran through both opening statements. Prosecutor Reggy Short portrayed Galloway as a man who refused to be constrained by the law as he sought grisly revenge against his ex-girlfriend, Janice Nam, 26. After being convicted of stalking her in late 2015, Galloway cut off an ankle bracelet and went into hiding - resurfacing for an alleged killing spree over Memorial Day weekend in 2016. First he fatally shot friend Marcus Anderson, 57, on May 29 in side a unit at Century Street Self Storage on North El Paso Street in central Colorado Springs, intent on securing his silence, Short said. Ten hours later on May 30, he used Anderson’s sport utility vehicle to sneak into Nam’s neighborhood, allegedly forced his way into her east-side house in the 6000 block Miramont Street as she slept and killed her with two gunshots to the head as she lay in bed. The deadly home invasion lasted less that a minute, authorities said. In his opening remarks, Short held up Nam’s bedroom door and displayed the large hole where Galloway allegedly kicked it in. “This barrier, like so many others over a two-year period, failed Janice,” Short said., describing how Nam also sought a restraining order against Galloway. But deputy public defender Kim Chalmers offered a different spin on control. She said Galloway “lost control over his mind and actions” after being forced to kill Anderson in self-defense, telling the panel that a meth-addicted Anderson had stolen Galloway’s gun and threatened him with it. In a state of emotional despair,” Chalmers said, Galloway went to Nam’s home the next day and killer her. “After it sunk in what he had done, he turned himself in,” she said. Galloway walked to a check-in window at the county jail May31, carting two backpacks, one containing the weapon used in the shootings. Prosecutors say they will prove their case relying in part on video from the home surveillance system that Nam purchased after the restraining order failed to keep Galloway from harassing her. Short described extensive forensic evidence linking Galloway to the crimes, and he asked the jury to hold Galloway accountable where previous efforts to constrain him had failed. Chalmers conceded that Galloway shot both people but said he didn’t have a culpable mental state. She said Galloway lost control when Name grew upset over his infidelity and launched a campaign of lies against him, costing him his job at Atmel, a former Colorado Springs semiconductor manufacturer, and causing him to be convicted of serious crimes he didn’t commit. Galloway was an Army sergeant, serving as a scout and helicopter mechanic, from 1991 to 1997, records show. He served in Hawaii for three years and was transferred to the 4th Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment at Fort Carson before being honorably discharged. Galloway and Nam met at Atmel, where he worked in maintenance and she on the assembly line. The first witness called to the stand Tuesday was Isabelle Wolfe, Nam’s sister. She recounted how she went to Nam’s house May 30 after her text messages went unanswered - and walked in to find shattered glass from a rear sliding door and a hammer resting in a dog bowl. Bloody paw prints from Nam’s two dogs led to the bedroom, where Wolfe found her sister slumped in her bed., cold to the touch, she said through tears. Testimony resumes at 9 a.m. Tuesday.

Locked up like Fort Knox’ Victim’s friend recounts alleged stalking, threats

Jurors at a death penalty trial Wednesday viewed a scale replica of a slain woman’s east Colorado Springs home, reproduced like a dollhouse down to its tiered roof and decorative white trim. What the model left out, a friend of the victim testified, were her cameras, guns and security alarms - attempts by 28-year- old Janice Nam to protect herself from ex-boyfriend Glan Law Galloway after their rocky relationship allegedly gave way to harassment and threats. “She was locked up like Fort Knox,” said Jade Rabideaux, a former co-worker who recounted how Nam locked her doors even when letting her two dogs into a fenced-in backyard for few minutes at a time. Galloway, 46, an ex-Fort Carson soldier, is on trial for fatally shooting Nam in her bed, the second of two people slain by the defendant during a two-day killing spree in May 2016, authorities say. At the time of Nam’s death, Galloway was on the run after an October 2015 conviction for stalking her - the result of threatening behavior that also led Nam to repeatedly seek protective orders against him. Rabideaux, the daughter of a Colorado Springs homicide sergeant, told the panel she befriended Nam when the two were hired in May 2015 to work at an Ent Federal Credit Union call center in Colorado Springs.

They took lunch together nearly every day and hung out dozens of times at Nam’s house at 6042 Miramont Street near Tutt and Powers boulevards, where Nam felt safest, she said. A home security system at was constantly armed, Rabideaux old the panel. At least six surveillance cameras kept watch over the first floor and monitored lanes of approached from outside the home, transmitting live footage to Nam’s cellphone. Insider her bedroom, authorities say, were two loaded weapons - a pistol in he nightstand and a shotgun in the closet. When Nam arrived home, she pulled into the two-door garage and didn’t exit her vehicle until the garage door was closed. “She was on high alert,” Rabideaux said, saying Nam responded with alarm to any unusual behavior by her two dogs. “She would jump up and we would all check the windows and make sure the doors were locked.” Prosecutors say those security arrangements did nothing to deter Galloway, who cut off an ankle monitor and went into hiding a day before he was to be sentenced for stalking in January 2016. Five months later, at roughly 5 a.m. on May 30, he smashed his way through Nam’s glass sliding doors, stormed upstairs as she lay sleeping and shot her twice in the head. The surveillance cameras that Nam relied on to keep her safe captured her killer’s path through the home, in footage also screened in court Wednesday. Wearing a hooded sweatshirt, the goateed figure heads up the stairs and comes back down less than a minute later, the video shows - glancing directly into the camera on his way out. Galloway’s court-appointed attorneys do not dispute that he killed Nam, but argue that he didn’t have the culpable mental state to be convicted of first-degree murder. During opening statements this week, they argued that Galloway suffered a mental break when he was forced to kill Marcus Anderson, a homeless friend, in self-defense. The next day, they said, he fatally shot Nam in a state of “emotional despair.” The trial is expected to last at least six weeks and marks El Paso County’s first capital case in a decade. Testimony resumes at 9 a.m. Thursday, which will be a half-day.

Prosecution rests in death-penalty case

El Paso County prosecutors on Thursday rested a three-week case against death-penalty candidate Glen Law Galloway, clearing the way for his defense attorneys to begin introducing evidence. Galloway, 46, is charged in the fatal shootings of Marcus Anderson and Janice Nam on consecutive days in May 2016. Authorities say he is linked by extensive forensic evidence, including a weapon found in his possession. His defense team doesn’t dispute that Galloway is responsible for both killings, but said he didn’t have a “culpable mental state” to be convicted of first-degree murder. They say he killed Anderson, a homeless man, in self-defense, leading him to “snap” and kill Nam, an estranged girlfriend he lamed for what he claimed was a wrongful conviction for stalking. Defense attorneys say they have four days of witnesses to present, putting the first phase of the trial on course to conclude by mid-June. If Galloway is convicted of first-degree murder, the same panel that heard evidence against him must decide to impose life in prison or death. That process could stretch into July, attorneys say.

Gunfire residue cited by Galloway’s legal team

Microscopic particles inside jeans worn by a Colorado Springs shooting victim drew scrutiny in court Monday as defense attorneys began putting on their case at El Paso County’s first-death-penalty trial in a decade. Attorneys for Glen Law Galloway, 46, say the presence of gunshot residue between Marcus Anderson’s pants and under wear is proof that Anderson drew a pistol from his waistband and threatened to shoot Galloway during a May 2016 confrontation - forcing the defendant to wrestle the gun away from Anderson and shoot him in self-defense. Galloway faces a potential death penalty in back-to-back shootings that also targeted his ex-girlfriend, Janice Nam. The defense says Galloway “snapped” after the fight with Anderson, leading him to sneak into Nam’s home in a state of “Emotional despair” and shoot her twice in the head as she lay in bed. A defense forensics expert testified that three of five samples from Anderson’s pants submitted for testing were positive for particles containing lead, barium and antimony. Those elements are generally found together only as a result of a gun firing, said Allison Laneve, a criminal forensics analyst at RJ Lee Group in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, a testing firm hired to analyze Anderson’s clothing. WHiel it’s unsurprising for gunshot residue to be found on fabric exposed to a shooting, the defense maintains that particles wouldn’t have gotten inside Anderson’s pants or on the outside of his underwear unless he had a gun in his waistband, as Galloway alleges.

Prepared by: Page 13 of 22 January 7, 2019 Dwight Haverkorn Homicide VICTIM(S): Marcus Paul Anderson Sunday, May 29, 2016 SUSPECT(S): Glen Law Galloway

During cross-examination of Laneve and other defense witnesses, prosecutor Reggy Short suggested the gunshot residue could have been the result of cross-contamination from multiple people handling the garment. Before a defense investigator took samples of the pants to send for analysis, the pans had been handled by an expert who performed a body fluid analysis and by investigators during evidence viewings by the defense and prosecution, Short noted through questioning. Laneve said the residue suggests three possibilities: Anderson either fired a gun, Was in the presence of a gun being fired or Handled an object that contained gunshot residue. A gun in Anderson’s waistband was one possible source of the particles, but so was cross-contamination, she said. During opening statements last month, Galloway’s attorneys identified Anderson, 57, as a homeless methamphetamine addict who agreed to help Galloway escape Colorado Springs after his conviction for stalking his ex-girlfriend. They say Anderson was supposed to drive Galloway to the Mexico border before he could be sentenced to prison. Before they left Colorado Springs, however, Galloway discovered his pistol missing and recognized it jutting from Anderson’s waistband as the men were stopped at a self-storage unit, where Anderson wanted to retrieve meth-making materials, according to their account. The trauma of that shooting led to a mental break in which Galloway killed Nam 10 hours later, they said. Authorities have dismissed claims of self-defense and say Galloway was willing to do anything to get his revenge against Nam after their two-year relationship gave way to allegations of domestic violence. They say Galloway killed Anderson to secure his silence and his pickup, which the defendant used to drive to Nam’s neighborhood before entering the house. Gunshot residue particles are a fraction of the width of a human hair and can be transferred through physical contact, experts have testified. A judge must rule whether the particles constitute a “scintilla of evidence” corroborating Galloway’s self-defense claim. If so, the prosecutors will have the burden of disproving the self-defense argument under Colorado law. The testimony cameo noa day that several witnesses for the defense said Anderson wasn’t a violent man, even when using meth. Another defense witness, Mitchell Censner, said Galloway didn’t use drugs but seemed fixated on Nam. “If I had my .357 (revolver), I’d go kill the bitch now,” Censner said Galloway told him in the weeks before the killings. The defense case is expected to resume Tuesday and conclude by next Monday. If Galloway is convicted, the panel then must decide whether to impose a life sentence in prison or the death penalty, in a process that could take weeks.

Galloway declines to take that stand in double murder trial

A Colorado Springs man facing the death penalty in a 2016 double murder declined to take the stand Monday, bringing his lengthy trial one step closer to a verdict. In deciding against testifying, Glen Law Galloway lashed out against 4th Judicial District Judge Gregory Werner, accusing the judge of “forcing” his hand through rulings that bar him from addressing one killing but reserving his right to remain silent about the other. “I wish to testify about Marcus Anderson, but I do not wish to testify about Janice Nam,” Galloway said. “You are forcing me not to testify.” The comments came moments before Galloway’s attorneys rested their more than weeklong defense. The prosecution intends to call rebuttal witnesses Tuesday, and closing arguments are expected Wednesday morning. If the jury convicts Galloway of murder, it then must decide whether to impose life in prison or the death penalty, a distinct phase of trial that could last until mid-July. Galloway’s defense, and his comments in court, hinge on his claim that he shot Anderson in self-defense at a self-storage lot in central Colorado Springs after the homeless methamphetamine addict stole Galloways pistol and threatened him with it. Galloway’s attorneys say the trauma of that encounter led to a mental break in which he killed Nam, and ex-girlfriend he blamed for what they call wrongful conviction for stalking. That conviction cost him his job at Atmel, and he was on his way to prison. A day before he was to be sentenced for stalking, he cut off an ankle monitor and went on the run January 7, 2016. Galloway’s defense team fought for separate trials in part because Galloway had separate explanations for the killings - arguing that trying the cases together would prejudice a jury and leave it less able to consider the crimes individually. The presiding judge, Gregory Werner, ordered the trials joined over their protests in June 2017, arguing the killings were tied by common evidence. In ordering that Galloway must address all the allegations against him should he testify, Werner cited appellate rulings that found defendants cannot pick and choose which charges they address when they elect to take the stand.

Under Werner’s rulings, Galloway could have been questioned about his 2015 conviction for stalking Nam, 26, as well as her multiple protection orders against him, ha he elected to testify. Galloway’s attorneys led by public defender Daniel King, renewed their objections to Werner’s rulings, saying the judge was forcing Galloway to choose between his right to remain silent and his right to testify in his defense. The defense has argued that Nam invented or exaggerated allegations against their client to get revenge for his infidelity, driving his mental break. His attorneys presented at least five women who had dated Galloway. All said he wasn’t physically or emotionally abusive and showed no signs of stalking. Annalethea Bladow of Silverthorne, Galloway’s ex-wife and the mother of his two sons, said he never abused her emotionally, though she admitted to saying otherwise in a petition for child support. Prosecutors previously called a domestic violence expert who testified that women who capitulate to abusers may not suffer abuse. The women all testified they were assertive with Galloway without retaliation. Their testimony drew frequent objections from prosecutors, who called it irrelevant to the murders. Testimony is expected to continue at 9 a.m. Tuesday.

Defense for Galloway upbraids judge Team barred from using self-defense phrase during closing arguments of death-penalty murder case.

A death penalty trial that began with the defendant hurling a laptop at a judge is nearing an end amid complaints by his defnes team that he hasn’t received a fair hearing. In court Tuesday, Glen Law Galloway’s attorneys said 4th Judicial District Judge Gregory Werner revealed a “bias” against their client through a series of adverse rulings this week, including one barring them from arguing self-defense during closing remarks. Accusing Werner of undermining their case and “severely damaging” Galloway’s right to a fair trial, public defender Kristin Nelson asked the judge to recuse himself -a request Werner batted down while responding with accusations of his own. Positing a “pattern by the defendant and defense counsel to delay matters in this case,” Werner ruled that the defense had failed to present any evidence for Galloway’s claim of self-defense and barred them from using the phrase during closing arguments, which are expected at 9 a.m. Wednesday. The dustup came as attorneys met outside the jury’s presence to hash out final jury instructions in El Paso County’s first- death penalty case in a decade. The judge’s ruling on self-defense has been eagerly awaited by attorneys in the case. It was issued Monday afternoon after the defense rested. The jury, which includes six alternates, is expected to begin weighing the case against Galloway by midday Wednesday, after up to three hours of closing remarks by both sides. The final chapter of the trial’s so-called “guilt phase” comes more than three months after jury selection began and about a month after testimony started. If the panel convicted Galloway of first-degree murder, the jury then must decide whether to impose life in prison or the death penalty. That “penalty phase” could take several weeks, say people involved in the case. Galloway, 46, is an ex-Fort Carson helicopter mechanic who settle in Colorado Springs after leaving the Army. He is accused of back-to-back fatal shootings in May 2016 to get revenge on an ex-girlfriend whose testimony resulted in a stalking conviction against him. Instead of denying Galloway’s involvement, his court-appointed attorneys admit he was responsible but say the killing spree wasn’t planned, as prosecutors allege. Galloway was forced to kill Marcus Anderson in self-defense after the homeless methamphetamine addict stole his pistol and threatened him with it, defense attorneys said during opening statements. He then fatally shot ex-girlfriend Janice Nam during a mental break he suffered during the Anderson confrontation, his attorneys say. Before juries can consider a self-defense argument, Colorado law requires a defendant to present at least a “scintilla” of supporting evidence, one of the lowest evidentiary standards in the law. Werner found Galloway’s defense team failed to clear the bar, making them ineligible to argue self-defense. The judge also threw out lesser included offenses, meaning the jury can’t convict Galloway of second-degree murder instead of first-degree murder. Werner cited earlier attempts by Galloway’s defense to have him kicked off the case, which the Colorado Supreme Court rejected before the trial. Adverse rulings alone are not sufficient grounds for recusal, Werner said, adding that he has no stake in the outcome.

In addressing the complaints to court, Werner noted that Galloway, who threw a computer in court during a closed session before opening statements, admitted two days later that he was trying to hit the judge and asked why Werner was permitted to remain on the case. The laptop, which belonged to defense attorney Julian Rosielle, missed a court reporter by roughly “a foot and a half,” Werner said. Galloway has refused to dress up for the trial, instead wearing his county jail jumpsuit. He also has refused to stand for the judge and jury, breaking with court protocol. In trying to satisfy the “scintilla” standard, defense attorneys pointed to microscopic gunshot residue found inside Anderson’s pants, suggesting it corroborated their client’s story that Anderson had the pistol in his waistband before drawing it during a confrontation. They also elicited testimony that meth use can make a person aggressive. Witnesses testified that Anderson sometimes lost his temper while high on meth but didn’t resort to violence. Rulings over jury instructions are ripe grounds for appeal, said retired Denver attorney Phil Cherner, one of the attorneys who represented Chuck E. Cheese killer and death row inmate Nathan Dunlap in post-conviction proceedings. “Of cases that get reversed, frequently it’s the jury instructions,” he said. Galloway declined to take the stand Monday, complaining that Werner forced his hand by ruling that he would have to address both murders rather than only the Anderson homicide, as Galloway wished. Compelling defendants who take the stand to address all charges against them is standard practice in criminal trials, said Phil Dubois, a Colorado Springs defense attorney who is unaffiliated with the case. Dubois said he has made similar arguments on behalf of clients who wished to address some, but not all, of the allegations against them. “I have lost that argument more than once,” he said.

Jury weighing Galloway’s motive in double murders

After six weeks of testimony in El Paos County’s first death-penalty trial in a decade, the question before a jury isn’t whether Glen Law Galloway pulled the trigger. It’s why. With defense attorneys conceding at the outset that the 46-year-old defendant was responsible for back-to-back fatal shootings in May 2016, a conviction is all be assured. What jurors conclude about his motive, though, could shape the trial’s next phase - determining if he goes to death row. The nine-man, three-woman panel began deliberating about 1 p.m., at the conclusion of three hours of closing arguments. If Galloway is found guilty, the same jury will decide if he lives or dies, which could take several weeks. During closing remarks Wednesday in a pack courtroom, attorneys on both side largely focused on their impressions of what drove the killings of Marcus Anderson, a homeless associate of Galloway, and his ex-girlfriend Janice Nam, both of Colorado Springs. Noting Galloway disregarded restraining orders Nam had against him as well as his October 2015 conviction for stalking her, prosecutors say the evidence is clear that Galloway was so bent on revenge that he plotted her death for months, even years - going so far as to first kill Anderson so that he could use his pickup to further his deadly plan. ‘That bitch ruined my life and I’m going to kill her,” said prosecutor Reggy Short, repeating what Galloway alleged told a friend weeks before Janice Nam was ambushed in her Colorado Springs bedroom and shot twice I the head at close range. Short rattled off testimony by two other Galloway associates, one who said he claimed to have a dug a grave in Black Forest for Nam and another who said Galloway spoke openly of shooting her with a .357 pistol. According to the defense, Galloway’s only plan was to get out of the country to escape a potential prison sentence for stalking - based on allegations that Galloway claimed were invented by Nam in reprisal for his infidelity. But Anderson, who the defense said agreed to drive Galloway to the Mexican border, stole Galloway’s weapon and threatened him with it, forcing Galloway to kill Anderson in self-defense. Knowing his life was all but over after killing Anderson, Galloway suffered a mental break and drove to the Colorado Springs home of Nam, intending to confront her, public defender Julian Rosielle said. “He snapped,” said Rosielle. “He lost control of his mind. He lost control of his emotions.” Short and co-counsel Rachael Powell, who prosecuted Galloway on the stalking charge, sought to show Galloway knew what he was doing each step of the way. Beginning in late 2015, he began converting his life savings into cash, giving much of his $160,000 retirement account to his sons. Prosecutors say the defense failed to present any evidence to support their claim of Galloway’s elaborate plan to flee the country, which they said included a network of at least three people. Rosielle argued that Galloway had numerous opportunities to kill Nam if that was his plan, and that his client wouldn’t have chosen a self-storage business in broad daylight to kill Anderson, who according to toxicology tests was high on methamphetamine.

Not would Galloway commit the shootings in such a sloppy manner, the defense argued. After Anderson was shot, his body was left in a storage unit in plain view, with the door open and possessions stacked outside, inviting attention. The defendant knew Nam had surveillance cameras in her house and took no steps to conceal his face. He left behind a holster in the backyard that contained his DNA. Short said Galloway’s mistakes should be construed to mean that the killings weren’t premeditated. He pointed out that after killing Anderson, Galloway immediately drove to Nam’s neighborhood. He spent the next 10 hours waiting at a fast-food restaurant a half mile from her house and parked just down the street before breaking in about 5 a.m. The two sides also clashed over Galloway’s decision to turn himself in at the jail a day after Nam’s killing. Saying Galloway thrived on control, Short said the defendant’s nonchalant surrender - while carrying a backpack containing the murder weapon - was a “power play” calculated to send the message that he couldn’t be constrained by the law. Rosielle said Galloway surrendered after coming to his senses and realized what he had done. “He gave the DA’s Office all the evidence it needed,” he said. “What kind of power play is that?” Closing arguments came a day after the defense asked presiding judge Gregory Werner to recuse himself, saying he revealed his “bias” against Galloway through a series of adverse rulings, including a prohibition on using the phrase “self- defense” in arguing the case. Werner denied the motion, saying his role was strictly to ensure the trial comported with the rules of evidence and that he had no vested stake in the outcome. They jury is expected to resume deliberations at 9 a.m.

Jurors seek help in death-penalty case

A jury deliberating double-murder charges in a El Paso County death-penalty case appears to be weighing whether Glen Law Galloway acted in self-defense in the first of two fatal shootings for which he is on trial. During Thursday’s deliberations, the jury asked for guidance on self-defense and second-degree murder. After discussing the issue with attorneys in the case, 4th Judicial District Judge Gregory Werner sent back a response that jurors had all the evidence and instructions they need to decide the case. The nine-man, three-woman panel then resume deliberations. Although far from definitive, jury questions can provide a w2indow into a panel’s thinking, and Thursday’s query goes to the heart of Galloway’s defense that he didn’t plot the killing of Marcus Anderson, as prosecutors alleged. Prosecutors must obtain at least one first-degree murder conviction for Galloway to be facing the death penalty. If the jury votes for second-degree murder in one of the shootings, the prosecution would be on shakier ground in requesting the state’s ultimate punishment, legal observers say. The issue of whether Galloway acted in self-defense has generated controversy in the county’s first capital case in a decade. This week, the defense accused Werner of “bias” and asked him to recuse himself after he barred the defense from using the phrase “self-defense” in its closing remarks. Under Colorado law, a self-defense instruction is generally approved if the defense presents even a “scintilla’ of supporting evidence, legal observers say. Werner rule the defense had failed to provide evidence of self-defense, despite expert testimony about gunshot residue found inside Anderson’s pants and on his underwear, which the defense argued was consistent with Galloway’s story that Anderson had a gun in his waistband before pulling it on Galloway. The judge previously ruled there wasn’t sufficient evidence for the jury to consider lesser offenses of manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide, leaving the panel no alternative beyond first- and second-degree murder. Galloway, an ex-Fort Carson soldier, is charged int eh May 2016 fatal shootings of Anderson and Janice Nam, the defendant’s ex-girlfriend. Prosecutors alleged both killings were a revenge plot against Nam, whom he blamed for an October 2015 conviction for stalking. The judge’s rulings on self-defense are likely to figure into future appeals should Galloway be convicted, experts say. Phil Cherner, a retired Denver defense attorney who has argued post-conviction matters in a prominent death-penalty case, previously told The Gazette that jury instructions are fertile grounds for appeal in capital cases. “Of cases that get reversed, frequently it’s the jury instructions,” he said. The Galloway jury was sent home at 5 p.m. Thursday without reaching a verdict. The panel will not deliberate on Friday and is expected to resume deliberations on Monday morning.

Jurors find Galloway guilty of murdering two Experts: Likelihood of death penalty ‘reduced’

An ex-Fort Carson soldier facing the death penalty in a 2016 double slaying was convicted Tuesday of first-degree murder and second-degree murder - marking a jury’s rejection of allegations that both killings were premediated. Although Glen Law Galloway, 46, remains eligible for the death penalty, prosecutors now face an uphill battle as they lobby his jury to impose it, legal observers say. “The likelihood of a death sentence has been substantially reduced,” said Colorado Springs attorney Phil Dubois, who has argued other death penalty cases but isn’t affiliated with Galloway’s defense. Citing multiple other Colorado cases in which juries rejected capital punishment, Dubois said anything short of a conviction on all counts marked a setback. The nine-man, three-woman jury deliberated for thee days before returning verdicts, capping six weeks of testimony in El Paso County’s first death penalty case in a decade. The same jury will decide whether Galloway lives or dies - a process expected to take weeks. To win the death penalty, prosecutors must spur the jury on to a unanimous decision that it’s the right punishment. If the jury doesn’t impose death, Galloway will be sentenced to life without parole. During more than a month of testimony, prosecutors argued that back-to-back killings of Marcus Anderson and Janice Nam were the result of the same plan - to get revenge on Nam, the defendant’s ex-girlfriend, after her testimony in court resulted in a stalking conviction against him, representing Galloway’s first brush with the law. At the time of the shootings, Galloway was on the run after cutting off an ankle monitor and disappearing in January 2016 a day before he was to be sentenced for stalking Nam. According to the prosecution, Galloway first killed Anderson, a homeless man with whom he lived while on the run, allegedly to secure Anderson’s “silence” and his pickup. Prosecutors say Galloway needed the truck to drive undetected into Nam’s central Colorado Springs neighborhood, where he broke in through a rear sliding door, climbed the stairs to her bedroom and shot her twice in the head in bed - his promised retribution. But the panel found that Anderson’s murder wasn’t planned, undercutting the prosecution’s theory of the case. The jury acquitted Galloway of aggravated robbery, finding that Galloway didn’t kill Anderson for his truck, as alleged. The verdicts were consistent with Galloway’s defense that he killed Anderson during a struggled after the meth addicted homeless man threatened him with a pistol. Galloway’s attorneys argue that he then “snapped” and drove to Ham’s home intending to confront her, only to shoot her instead. Sentencing proceedings began Tuesday after the verdict was announced. The jury first must agree that prosecutors proved death penalty aggravators, including that Galloway killed a witness to a crime, Name, and that he intentionally killed two people during the same criminal episode. If the prosecution proves the statutory aggravators, the defense will put on witnesses to present mitigating evidence, including testimony about Galloway’s character before the crimes. The jury then would be instructed to weigh aggravation vs. mitigation in selecting Galloway’s punishment. Regardless of their deliberations, any juror could reject the death penalty for any reason, said Dubois. “The jury decides, regardless of anything, what it wants to do,” he said. “They don’t even have to give a reason. They’re not accountable to anyone except their own conscience.”

Prosecutors can ask for death penalty

Prosecutors pursuing the death penalty against a Colorado Springs double-killer passed a key hurdle Wednesday, after a jury found that his crimes were aggravated enough to be eligible for capital punishment. Whether Glen Law Galloway, 46, will be sent to Colorado’s Death row is up to jurors, in a process that could take several weeks. The panel’s unanimous decision that prosecutors met three of four statutory aggravators alleged in the 2016 shootings of Marcus Anderson and Janie Nam capped the first phase of sentencing and cleared the way for that process to continue. Had the panel vote that Galloway did not meet the statutory qualifiers for capital punishment, Galloway would have received a life sentence without parole for first-degree murder. The next step in the multiphase sentencing involved the defense putting on evidence of mitigation - or reasons why the panel should instead pose life instead of death. Galloway’s attorneys previously indicated they had at least 20 people lined up to take the stand, including former classmates, ex-wives and girlfriends and his mother. That testimony was expected to last through Friday.

“You will hear about Mr. Galloway’s life from the beginning, because that life is now your responsibility, and you should know as much about it as you can,” King said in opening statements at the mitigation phase. He described Galloway as a hard worker and family man who “snapped” after being convicted of stalking Nam. At the conclusion of the mitigation phase, the jury must weigh aggravating factors against mitigating ones. Only if the panel decides that aggravators outweigh mitigators will the sentencing proceed to the final phase, when attorneys will clash on the issue of whether death is the appropriate punishment, leading the jury to the ultimate decision in the case. Galloway, a one-time Fort Carson helicopter mechanic, was found guilty Tuesday of killing Anderson and Name, concluding six weeks of testimony at his trial and immediately launching the three-part sentencing phase. During the aggravating factors phase, the jury found that Galloway committed first-degree burglary in the course of killing of Nam; that Galloway committed a felony by possessing the weapon he used to kill Nam: and that he intentionally killed two people in the same criminal episode. The panel rejected a fourth aggravator alleging that Galloway intended to kill a witness to forestall his prosecution - that he killed Nam to prevent her from speaking out against him at a sentencing hearing. Mitigation testimony continues Thursday morning.

Pleas for life sentence, not death Son one of final witnesses in defense’s four-day effort to present mitigation evidence

Convicted double-killer Glen Law Galloway was described in court Monday as a committed father who taught his two sons the value of hard work and following rules and who could be counted on to attend their high-school sporting events. Shea Galloway, 20, took the stand as the final witness in the defense’s four-day effort to present mitigation evidence why Galloway, 46, shouldn’t be put to death. “He taught me ho w to be a good person,” his eldest son said in a firm voice, after acknowledging that his father had made “bad mistakes.” Galloway, an ex-Fort Carson soldier, was convicted May 26 of second-degree murder in the killing of Marcus Anderson and first-degree murder in the slaying of Janice Nam. The victims were shot on consecutive days in May 2016. In the wake of the verdicts, the case commenced with first-phase sentencing, which ended with the panel deciding that prosecutors had met the statutory aggravators necessary to pursue the death penalty. The panel found that Galloway intentionally killed more than one person in more than one criminal episode; that he committed first-degree burglary in furtherance of the ki8lling of Nam, who was attacked in her bedroom; and that his possession of the gun used in the crime was a felony because of a previous conviction for stalking her. During the second phase of sentencing, referred to as the mitigation phase, the defense can present evidence for any reason Galloway shouldn’t be put on death row. If the jury decides that mitigation outweighs the aggravating factors in his crimes, then the death penalty is off the table and Galloway will go to prison for life without the chance of parole. If the jury decides that aggravation deserves greater weight of consideration, the sentencing continues to a third phase in which prosecutors lay out their case for the death penalty. Shea Galloway’s testimony came after more than a dozen people took the stand over four days to comment on Galloway’s character. In some cases, the defendant was brought face-to-face with friends and co-workers he hadn’t seen in decades, including his high school Spanish teacher, who now lives in Spain and who testified via Skype. Galloway grew up in Columbus, Ohio, with two sisters and a single mother who worked multiple jobs seven days a week to provide for them after her husband abandoned the family. As a teenager, Galloway got a job at Pizza Hit to help his mother pay bills and was captain of the wrestling team at his private high school. Classmates recalled him as friendly and funny; they denied he picked fights or bullied anyone. After graduating in 1990 or 1991, Galloway joined the Army and was trained as a helicopter mechanic, earning a reputation for competence. One of his first assignments was to Hawaii, where he and his friends partied and rode motorcycles in their off hours. After his transfer to Fort Carson, Galloway worked a part-time job at The Underground, a now-shuttered bar at North Nevada Avenue and East Kiowa Street downtown. There he met his now-ex-wife Annalethea Bladow, and they had two sons before their divorce, which resulted from Galloway being unfaithful. Bladow testified that during their marriage, Galloway wasn’t abusive or insulting, and the two remained friendly after their divorce, especially when it came to their children. At least two other former girlfriends took the stand to testify that Galloway did not display threatening or controlling behavior, and that they remained friendly after terminating relationships with him. Their testimony clashed with reports by Nam, 26, who before her death sought restraining orders against Galloway, claiming he had threatened violence against her and broke into he home to harass her.

After retiring from the Army in the early 1990s. Galloway became an equipment maintainer for Atmel, a semi-conductor manufacturer now known as Microchip. He left the company for Intel in Colorado Springs and later took a job with Samsung Austin Semiconductor in Texas. He returned to Colorado Springs in 2011 and resumed working at Atmel, where he met Nam and formed a two-year relationship that explored into violence. Among those who testified in support of Galloway were a female co-worker who said Galloway was protective of her when she began to fear an ex-boyfriend, and Galloway’s stepson from the marriage with Bladow, who said Galloway treated him as he did his biological sons. As prosecutors cross-examined the character witnesses, they emphasized suggestions that Galloway can be domineering and unbending - pointing out any time a witness said Galloway did what he wanted and “didn’t care” what anyone thought. Prosecutors began presenting rebuttal witnesses late Monday morning, first calling a former co-worker who described Galloway as “hot-headed” and always spoiling for a fight. Jeremy Hepner testified that Galloway once bragged about killing am an in the Army. He also told a story about confronting a drug dealer who had ripped off a family member, claiming he kicked down the dealer’s door and put a pistol in his mouth, Hepner said. Defense attorneys noted that Galloway hadn’t been arrested in either incident, or any time, prior to 2014 stalking allegations by Nam, whjch the defense contends were false. Prosecutors played recorded jail calls in which Galloway, who had been described as respectful toward woman, can be heard using lewd terms to refer to Nam and one of his prosecutors. The jury on Monday also heard evidence about an outburst by Galloway in which he flung a laptop across the courtroom minutes before opening statements were to be given. Galloway’s angry reaction came after a closed, confidential hearing among him, his attorneys and the judge, said El Paso County sheriff’s deputy Carl Kleincort. Kleincort said he “quickly” closed the distance to Galloway, who remained at the defense table, but that Galloway told him, “I’m OK,’ as if to communicate he didn’t intend to resist as the deputy took him into custody. The deputy said he placed his left hand on Galloway’s right shoulder and escorted him out of court and to his cell, without further disruptions. Closing arguments in the mitigation case are expected to begin Tuesday morning, followed by the jury deliberations that will determine if sentencing goes to the final phase.

Jury rejects death penalty Galloway to get life in prison in slayings.

El Paso County’s first capital case in a decade ended in defeat for prosecutors Tuesday as a jury threw out the death penalty against double-murderer Glen Law Galloway, 46, instead will be sentenced to life in prison without parole at a hearing at 9 a.m. Thursday. Six weeks after the start of testimony, the trial was brought to a halt about 3:30 p.m. with the panel’s finding that mitigating factors in the case outweighed aggravation - the focus of the second-stage of Galloway’s sentencing after he was convicted last week in the back-to-back shootings of Marcus Anderson and Janice Nam in May 2016. Nearly three dozen of Galloway’s friends and relatives testified across four days during the mitigation phase, attesting to the defendant’s good character before he allegedly “snapped” in the fallout of a toxic relationship with Nam. The nine-man, three-woman panel deliberated about five hours before removing the death penalty as an option. Galloway, who threw a laptop in court on the trial’s opening day and refused to dress up or stand for the judge and jury, remained defiant, griping about the two-day delay in sentencing before mocking one of his prosecutors. “Better luck next time, Reggy,” Galloway quipped to prosecutor Reggy Short before being led out of court in handcuffs. The jury’s findings were met with eerie silence as spectators digested the complicated verdict, which required the jury to answer in the form of a double-negative - namely, that it unanimously found that prosecutors did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that mitigation did not outweigh aggravation. As 4th Judicial District Judge Gregory Werner clarified that the jury had rejected death, emotions quickly grew raw. Anderson’s sister, Melissa Anderson Digiovanni, buried her face in the shoulder of a supporter beside her as Nam’s sisters, Isabelle Wolfe and Shin Nam, stared blankly ahead. And after jurors left the courtroom, prosecutor Rachael Powell - who previously prosecuted Galloway for stalking Nam - burst into tears and wept at the prosecution table for several minutes. Prosecutors declined to comment, with Short saying he didn’t want to violate rules about out-of-court statements before Galloway’s sentencing. In addition to life without parole, the defendant also faces 16 to 48 years for second-degree murder and 10 to 32 years for burglary. A stalwart supporter in court, the defendant’s mother, Bonnie Galloway of Columbus, Ohio, left quietly and alone, telling this reporter, “I can’t talk about this,” her voice strained by emotion.

S verdict marked a clear victory for Galloway’s legal team, which consisted of Colorado Springs public defenders Kim Chalmers and Julian Rosielle and Denver public defenders Daniel King and Kristen Nelson, both members of the Colorado Public Defender’s Office death penalty team who previously represented Aurora theater shooter James Holmes. In presenting mitigation, the defense reconstructed much of Galloway’s life, from a rough upbringing in Columbus to his arrival in Colorado Springs with the Army in the early 1990s, to his career as an equipment maintainer in the civilian world, where he worked at microchip manufacturers in Colorado Springs and Austin, Texas. At the conclusion of their evidence, prosecutor Donna Billek offered a withering assessment of Galloway as an unrepentant killer with a mean streak - rude to his mother, controlling in personal relationships and dismissive of boundaries, including the criminal justice system he defied when he cut off an ankle monitor and went into hiding before killing Anderson and storming into Nam’s home in a deadly invasion at night. “He is who he is; it is everybody else’s fault, and he’s never going to change,” Billek said. King argues that Colorado law reserves capital punishment for the “worst crimes and most culpable defendants,” such as serial killers and terrorists, not someone who, King claimed, lost control after four decades as a law-abiding man. Prosecutors argued that Galloway was consumed by jealousy and desire for revenge. After being convicted of stalking Nam, 26, he cut off an ankle monitor and went into hiding, allegedly to plot Nam’s murder. Prosecutors said Galloway fatally shot Anderson, 56, steal his pickup, which Galloway used to sneak undetected into Nam’s neighborhood, where the defendant eventually smashed through a rear sliding door, stormed upstairs and fatally shot her as she lay in bed. The jury, however, rejected a first-degree murder conviction in Anderson’s death, consistent with the defense’s claim that Galloway killed Anderson in self-defense. The defense said Galloway then “snapped” and killed Nam, whom he accused of investing allegations that led to his felony conviction and the loss of his job at Atmel Corporation, now known as Microchip Corporation. In arguing the murder case, Galloway’s defense suggested that Nam, angered by Galloway’s infidelity, had invented some of the allegations she lodged against him in the stalking case, as the defendant has alleged. Some legal observers took the prosecution’s failure to win first-degree murder convictions in both killings as a sign that the jury was unlikely to vote for the death penalty. El Paso County District Attorney Dan May said nothing about the trial’s outcome affected his view that Galloway deserved the death penalty for what he called “Two horrific homicides” by a killer who lacked remorse. Nam dated Galloway for two years before relationship unraveled amid reports of threats by the defendant. She did everything she could to distance herself from him through the legal system, May said. But every measure she pursued - from her dual home security systems to her restraining order and stalking complaint - failed to prevent her murder by a man determined to defy the law at every step, he said. The verdict comes as May’s office considers whether to pursue the death penalty against two men charged in the killings of Coronado High School students Derek Greer and Natalie Cano-Partida. May said he couldn’t comment on whether it would affect the decision, which is due Monday. May couldn’t immediately estimate the cost of the trial, saying he would provide the numbers later. The verdict marks the latest rejection of the death penalty by Colorado jurors. In 20156, a jury imposed life in prison instead of death for Dexter Lewis, who fatally stabbed five people at Fero’s Bar & Grill in Denver. A different panel filed to reach a unanimous verdict on the death penalty for theater shooter Holmes, resulting in a life sentence. “Once again, a jury has told the government that seeking the death penalty is a waste of everyone’s time,” said Phil Cherner, a retired Denver and death penalty opponent who is chairman of the Board for Coloradans for Alternative to the Death Penalty. Cherner said he wasn’t surprised that prosecutors lost a death penalty bid even in politically conservative El Paso County. “The death penalty is not really a conservative or liberal issue. It cuts across those political dynamics,” he said. Progressives oppose the death penalty for its “morality, its dysfunction and its racial injustice,” while conservatives might object to the waste of resources, he said.

Judge: No remorse means no mercy Galloway given maximum sentence in double slayings

With a single word - “Nope” - a Colorado Springs double-murderer refused to explain himself or express remorse Thursday for back-to-back shooting deaths that led to El Paso County’s first capital case in a decade. Glen Law Galloway, 46, declined to make a statement as 4th Judicial District Judge Gregory Werner imposed the maximum sentence - life without parole plus 171½ years in the May 2016 slayings of Marcus Anderson and Janice Nam. Galloway, an ex-Fort Carson soldier, was spared the death penalty two days earlier when a jury failed to agree that aggravating factors outweighed mitigating ones in the crimes, removing the death penalty as an option.

But that didn’t mean Galloway deserved further leniency, Werner said in court, citing the cruelty of Galloway’s crimes and his open contempt in court, from attempts to delay his two-year prosecution to throwing a laptop in protest on the trial’s opening day. “He narrowly missed my court reporter, who was only doing her job,” Werner said. Galloway’s court-appointed attorneys likewise declined to address the court and did not say on the record whether Galloway intends to appeal. Breaking their public silence for their first time since Nam’s murder were her two sisters. Isabelle Wolfe shook with sobs while describing Galloway as a “coward” who terrorized Janice Nam for two years - then executed her in her bed - because he couldn’t walk away when she broke up with him. She said she had a “shattered heart” and pleaded for the judge to impose a sentence that would “make him actually care about what he did.” “one shot wasn’t even enough,” said Shin Nam. “He needed to make sure she died and placed two bullets in her head.” The Nam sisters described 28-year-old Janice as soft-spoken person who nevertheless spoke her mind. She was goal- oriented, witty and supportive of her friends and family, loved ones said. Authorities said Nam predicted her death, telling a judge in applying for one of numerous restraining orders that Galloway repeatedly threatened to kill her. She installed cameras in her home and bought two guns. The murder came five months after Galloway cut off an ankle monitor and went into hiding after being convicted of stalking Nam in the wake of their breakup. Relatives of Anderson, 56, said the trial left them without answers why Galloway chose to kill him and leave his body in a Colorado Springs storage unit “like a piece of garbage,” his cousin, Monica Gessen, said. Anderson was homeless and addicted to methamphetamine, the result of personal turmoil that reached a breaking point with the death of his mother. “He had compassion for the hurt, the lonely and the homeless,” said his sister, Melissa DiGiovanni Anderson. After losing his home and turning to life on the streets, Anderson made sure to find shelter for his two pet birds, persuading a Colorado Springs pet store to board them in exchanged for Anderson performing odd jobs around the store. IN comments outside the courtroom, lead prosecutor Reggy Short said he and other members of the prosecution team chose to pursue the death penalty in the case because of Galloway’s relentless violations of legal barriers meant to constrain him and keep the community safe. “This was a case that in my personal opinion cried out for someone to say, ‘Enough is enough,’” Short said, adding that he would make the same decision again. Prosecutors previously sought the death of cop-killer Marco Lee in 2007, under then District Attorney John Newsome, but Lee ended up pleading guilty in exchange for a life sentence plus 167 years. Whether the verdict in Galloway affects plans for capital cases could grow clear in a matter of days. Prosecutors must decide by Monday whether to pursue the death penalty for two men charged in the March 2017 killings of two Coronado High School students.
