Orlando Strip Clubs: Judge rejects early release for ex-girlfriend of killer in Eustis slayings
TAVARES — A former stripper and ex-girlfriend of a convicted killer who helped him plan a deadly crime in Eustis but then gave crucial testimony that landed him on death row has been denied early release from prison.
Circuit Judge T. Michael Johnson rejected an appeal last week to reconsider the 10-year sentence he gave Angel Glenn, 23, for her role in the double murder at a house party where she had been performing.
“Although she may not believe it, the court has granted her mercy,” Johnson said.
The appeal, filed by Orlando defense lawyer Eric Barker, was a last-ditch effort to win probation for Glenn, whose mother, siblings and boss at a Georgia coffeehouse also urged the judge to rethink the sentence.

Like Gillislee’s letter, defense lawyer Barker focused his appeal on changes in Glenn, who transformed herself from a drug-abusing amateur stripper with a thug boyfriend to a working single mom walking a straight line.
