Kim Foxx, the Crook County so-called prosecutor, and the pro-criminal court system run by Judge Timothy Evans, both need to be queried about this Monty Morgan.
From the indispensible CWB Chicago site:
A Chicago man accused of killing Chicago Police Officer Ella French and shooting her partner during a traffic stop over the weekend received two years probation after he pleaded guilty to robbing a man on the North Side in August 2019. CWBChicago introduced you to Monty Morgan, formally known as Emonte Morgan, shortly after that victim beat Morgan in self-defense following the August 8, 2019, robbery attempt. Two years ago, prosecutors said Morgan arranged to meet a 36-year-old Bridgeport man in the 1200 block of North Larrabee so Morgan could purchase the other guy’s $900 iPhone. But, when the two got together around 8:30 p.m. on August 8, Morgan took the phone and ran away, the victim alleged.More..
Prosecutors initially charged Morgan, who listed an Old Town address at the time of his arrest, with felony theft and misdemeanor battery. He later pleaded guilty to one count of robbery in exchange for a sentence of two years probation, according to court records. Judge William O’Brien oversaw the case. Today, prosecutors charged Morgan with first-degree murder of a peace officer, two counts of attempted first-degree murder of a peace officer, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon by a felony, and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon in connection with the death of French, the shooting of her partner, and the attempted shooting of another cop over the weekend. He was shot by officers who returned fire, police said, and was listed in serious condition.Ella French was a Chicago cop for three years. She was slain Saturday in West Englewood on the South Side.
NBC Chicago says one other person has been charged.
Morgan's brother, Eric Morgan, 19, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon and one count of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon with a prior conviction.
