Magoffin Couple Pleads Guilty
Sixty-four year old Gladys Allen and her grandson, 18 year old Jarred Allen, pleaded guilty Thursday in Magoffin Circuit Court to charges involved in a September case which caused a mistrial for Gladys' son, Chester Allen. Authorities say, during a sodomy trial for Chester Allen, Gladys Allen attempted to retaliate against Commonwealth's Attorney Graham Martin by threatening physical harm. Jarred Allen pleaded guilty to three counts of attempted jury tampering, intimidating jurors as they left the courthouse. A 12 month sentence is recommended for each when they're sentenced December 3rd.
