Why isn’t Glen charged with involuntary manslaughter?

I believe that decision is left up to the Grand Jury. They will review the evidence and indict him for involuntary manslaughter, if the circumstances support that charge (which obviously, they seem to!)

This breaks my heart! I know both of the Lovell men, they were my neighbors here in Arkansas. They were very kind men! I hate that this had to happen to Tony and Glen. I understand that the law is the law though.
May Tony’s family find peace during this time as well as Glen’s! My heart goes out to you all!! ❤

I think Glen should go to prison. He has had a drinking problem for decades. He got behind the wheel after drinking. He took another’s life. He needs to be taught a lesson.
