Update On Howard Morgan

On January 17, 2014, we reported on the case of Howard Morgan.

This is a case where the jury acquitted Morgan on counts of firing a firearm and counts of aggravated battery with a firearm, but deadlocked on charges of attempted murder.  At the retrial, the judge denied the jury knowledge of the acquitted charges, and the second jury convicted Morgan of attempted murder.  His attorneys have argued double-jeopardy because it was only possible for the jury to convict upon finding that Morgan fired a gun — a charge in which he was acquitted.

Tomorrow, February 26, 2014, a rally recognizing 9 Years of injustice against Officer Howard Morgan is being held in Chicago.

Time: 12pm – 1pm
Location: James R. Thompson Center, 100 W. Randolph, Chicago, IL

Hosted by: Attorney Benjamin Crump
