On April 5, 2012, Howard Morgan is scheduled to be sentenced
for crimes he did not commit – place Criminal Court Building, Courtroom 600, 2650
South California, Chicago, IL 60608 at 8:00 a.m. (Please be on time). How did Morgan get to this point?
According to police, Morgan opened fire with his service
weapon when officers tried to arrest him, which caused them to shoot him 28
times. There was no indication Morgan
was drunk, on drugs or had a medical condition.
Not sure why Morgan was being arrested since driving wrong way seems to
be a traffic issue. People have made a wrong turn into a
street. A Change.org petition signed by more than 2,600 people called
for all charges against Morgan to be dropped, and now Occupy Chicago is getting
involved. It’s not the same attention given to Trayvon Martin’s case... perhaps
because Morgan was shot by the fellow police – the brotherhood of law
enforcement.
Howard
Morgan, Black Off-Duty Cop Shot 28 Times By White Chicago Officers, Faces
Sentencing - possible 80 years – a lifetime sentence. Some things noted in
the article:
Morgan’s van was crushed and
destroyed without notice or cause before any forensic investigation could be
done.
Howard Morgan was never tested
for gun residue to confirm if he even fired a weapon on the morning in
question.
The State never produced the
actual bullet proof vest worn by one of the officers who claimed to have
allegedly taken a shot directly into the vest on the morning in question. The
State only produced a replica.
