Man gets 7 years in Cannady slaying

EXCERPT

Assistant District Attorney David Saacks said Morris' impaired intellectual functioning, coupled with a meek personality, had made him vulnerable to the recruiting activities of gang members.

"To me, Ricky Morris is the poster child of what gang recruitment is all about," said Saacks.

"What we asked Ricky Morris to do, he did -- completely," Saacks added, referring to Morris' testimony against two co-defendants.

"Do whatever you can for him. Give him the lowest mitigated sentence," the prosecutor urged Superior Court Judge Ron Stephens.

That's nice, kill a 89 year old and get 7 to 10 years.............

"To me, Ricky Morris is the poster child of what gang recruitment is all about," said Saacks.

I guess Durham is all into poster children. They are well represented by Crystal Gail Mangum and Kim Roberts Pittman, two outstanding examples of hard working mothers.
