January 6, 1957 - Freddie Glenn
Glenn's case centers on one of the more legally contested questions in American criminal justice: the degree to which presence and participation in a crime spree constitutes culpability for its worst acts. The 1975 murders in Colorado Springs, carried out over a short period by Glenn and two accomplices, included the killing of Karen Grammer — a crime that would later become publicly known partly through its connection to her brother, the actor Kelsey Grammer. Glenn has spent decades in prison maintaining that his role was peripheral, a claim that gained some posthumous support from co-defendant Michael Corbett before Corbett's death in 2019.
From Wikipedia
Freddie Lee Glenn (born January 6, 1957) is an American spree killer. Along with his accomplices, Michael Corbett and Larry Dunn, Glenn was responsible for three murders in and around Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1975. Glenn and Corbett were found guilty of murdering three people including Karen Grammer, the younger sister of actor Kelsey Grammer.
In recent years, Glenn has disputed his role in the murders, claiming that he never personally killed anyone, although he admitted to being an accomplice to the murders. He claimed that he drove Corbett and Dunn during the crime spree, thus making him an active participant in all the robberies and kidnappings they committed, and was present for the murder of Karen Grammer. He denied raping or personally killing Grammer. Corbett offered this version of events in statements made before he died in prison in 2019. Corbett took sole responsibility for the murders of Daniel Van Lone and Winfred Profitt and claimed that Larry Dunn had murdered Karen Grammer.
