For Immediate Release: Defendant Indicted by Grand Jury for Conspiracy in Gang Related Theft Case 

 

Miami, Fla. (Month Day, 2017) - The Miami-Dade County Grand Jury indicted17-year-old Gus Glöm for conspiracy to commit theft. In the 2017 Florida Legislative Session, the State Attorney was able to persuade the Legislature to indict Glöm despite their age. This indictment comes with the recent rise in gang-related crimes that the Miami Police Dept. has been committed to suppress. 

 
When asked about the reason for trying Glöm as an adult, the State Attorney simply said, “the city of Miami has no tolerance for gang-related violence.” However, they added to their statement, “It is with the help of those that wish to redeem themselves within the eyes of the law that justice was able to be served here today.” They continued, “It would not have been possible to have prevented the burglary of multiple reputable businesses without that help, and the State Attorney's Office welcomes those that wish to join us in eliminating the threat that gangs have shrouded our city in.” 

 

From wounded officers to police supplies being pilfered, the Miami Police Dept. has had their work cut out for them to bring order and safety back to the citizenry. Gang-related crimes have been attributed to many of those crimes, without any arrests. The ferality of the crimes however, has been noted to be above and beyond what has been seen previously. Wrongful deaths and property damage have become commonplace amongst Miamians in recent years. This is some of the context for the court decision of Glöm’s indictment.

Portion of Warden’s Journal 

MM/DD/2018 

 

[...] 

It is the one-year anniversary of inmate Glom’s arrival at this prison, and the end of his time here. Hopefully his time has been rehabilitating. But I can’t shake the feeling that we would all be safer with him remaining locked up. 

 

When he arrived at the prison, Glom clearly had a chip on his shoulder against the entire world. He was resistant to authority, combative with his fellow inmates, and his incarceration seemed like it would be a hard time for him and us. Especially the name issue. No one cares how it's pronounced. This angsty prick of a kid needed to calm down and stop giving us a reason.

 

After some time though, he cooled off. He was seen confiding in one of the veteran prisoners in here who seemed to have taken him under his wing. The older inmate, Amos, is a model prisoner, given the fact that he is a frequent visitor of our prison and has learned that it is easier to not bite the hand that feeds. This arrangement worked out just fine for this warden. 

 

However, there were still some disciplinary problems with Glom. His roommates would frequently complain to the guards, or just beg for a new cell with a coincidental collection of bruises. Also, he was repeatedly found up past curfew. Some guards were able to eavesdrop, with some effort since Glom had an uncanny ability to tell when someone was listening. He’d be ranting to himself in the dark about how he was betrayed and he deserved better. He seemed power hungry and had delusions of grandeur. 

 

I'd heard that in his court case, a crucial piece of evidence came from an informant. Rumor has it that it was some other gang member who gave up info for leniency and protection. No one likes a snitch and clearly Glom believes that rumor.

 

Whether these are just the ravings of some sick kid or the schemes of someone with nothing to lose, it’s my opinion that Miami can’t afford even more chaos on the streets.
