Walter George Glenn was found guilty Thursday in the 2009 death of Carlton Braswell.A Chattanooga man faces up to 40 years in prison after being convicted Thursday of killing a 17-year-old boy.
Walter Glenn, 37, will be sentenced for second-degree murder on April 2. A jury deliberated just two hours Wednesday evening and Thursday morning before finding Glenn guilty of knifing Carlton Braswell.
Glenn didn’t react visibly to the jury verdict. His criminal history will affect his sentence, which could range from 25 to 40 years.
Witnesses testified that on Dec. 20, 2009, Braswell was walking from his apartment in the 1900 block of Southern Street when he crossed paths with Glenn and asked him for a puff of his cigarette. Glenn refused.
The pair argued, cursing at each other, and then parted.
