Morgan faces modified bond with home confinement in robbery case
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney John McGinnis outlines a hierarchy among four co defendants with Morgan described as the low man on the totem pole. A Mac 11 9mm rifle used in the robbery was recovered, one man beaten and treated at a local hospital. Morgan is not deemed a mastermind and did not wield the weapon. Swope notes the presumption of innocence and the right to a speedy trial. Bond terms proposed include 10 000 cash or surety with home confinement supervised by the probation department. Morgan could post 5 000 bond but remains in regional jail awaiting court approval of surety and placement.
