Famous Case in Charlotte Circuit Court Trial Over Property Deal
The Freeman W. Wilcox versus Thomas and Amanda Morton case sits in Charlotte circuit court before Judge Smith. On calendar for over two years, it has seen two trials with a hung jury and a set aside verdict. Mortons ran a Bellevue hardware business.
