This past weekend, six people were killed by gun violence in Kalamazoo. The alleged gunman was an Uber driver who, authorities say, has admitted to the shootings. However, the suspect is pleading not guilty in court.
While a guest on Michigan’s Big Show with Michael Patrick Shields this week, attorney Brian P. Morley was asked how an alleged criminal can say he was involved with a crime but then plead not guilty.
“The legal question will become, ‘is he criminally responsible’ for the crime, ” said Morley. “That’s why you plead not guilty at this stage.”
Morley and Shields also discussed the current television series “The People vs O.J. Simpson” and how that trial is captivating audiences now, just as it did 20 years ago.
“DNA was relatively new at the time,” Morley said. “It wasn’t as commonplace as it is now.”
