Judge to Decide on Death Penalty Motions for Brandon Morris
Prosecutors have rejected the motions brought forward in the death penalty
case against 20-year-old Brandon Morris.
Morris's attorneys filed 47 motions in Circuit Court two weeks ago
opposing the death penalty as a sentencing option in the case.
Prosecutors responded to the motions. State's Attorney, Charles Strong,
said he is aggressively seeking the death penalty for Morris. Morris is
charged with 1st degree murder in the death of Correctional Officer
Jeffery Wroten.
A judge will decide whether to approve or reject the death penalty motions
in a hearing set for September 20th.
