Lawyer in court for man accused of killing girl at Raleigh parade

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- The lawyer of the man facing charges for killing an 11-year-old girl at the Raleigh Christmas parade appeared in court on his behalf.

Landen Glass ,20, faces a new felony count of involuntary manslaughter.

The Virginia native is accused of hitting and killing 11-year-old Hailey Brooks after police say he lost control of his truck while pulling a float.

Glass was indicted earlier this year and he's charged with other misdemeanors.

Previously, ABC11 found that Virginia authorities charged Glass several times with violations in that state, dating back to February 2021. Those charges include multiple failures to have a vehicle inspected, and several window tint violations.

Last October he got a ticket for failure to inspect a vehicle.

He is on house arrest and has hired a prominent Raleigh defense attorney.
