In a disturbing case that has gripped Osceola County, Kelsey Glover, 35, has been indicted for first-degree murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to a release from the State Attorney's office yesterday. The charges stem from the events of November 20 when Glover allegedly drowned her daughter and assaulted another woman with a hammer.
The incident was first brought to light when deputies responded to an emergency call from a woman claiming Glover had attacked her afterward, and they arrived at the Glover residence in Kissimmee, where they discovered Glover's daughter, her body already beyond the call of life's rope, resulting in her being pronounced dead at a local hospital. The investigation since that harrowing day has revealed evidence that not only had Glover drowned her daughter in the bathtub but also that she had perpetrated an attack on the female witness with a hammer.
Glover currently faces the gravest of accusations, and yet amidst the weight of these allegations, the tenet of innocent until proven guilty remains in place, a cornerstone of the justice system detailed by the State Attorney's Office as they reminded the public that "an indictment is merely an allegation and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law."
