SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 14 – For a murder in Hunts Point in the South Bronx in 2016, Bruce Morris is on trial before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Jesse M. Furman. Inner City Press is covering it, as it has covered Hunts Point and The Bronx.
On January 14, the Bronx Homicide detective who caught the case was on the witness stand, followed by the superintendent of the building at 848 Faile Avenue, who said he saw Morris with a gun.
The prosecutors put into the record the grand jury transcript of Morris' brother, represented by Federal Defenders, repeatedly invoking his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination. Morris has four CJA lawyers. The trial continues.
The case is USA v. Morris, 1:24-cr-358 (Furman)
