The man charged in the death of CMPD Officer Mia Goodwin will make a court appearance this morning in Mecklenburg Superior Court Room 5310.
Daniel Morgan has been arraigned on several charges including involuntary manslaughter.
Several local news operations including WSOC's Joe Bruno are expected to be in the court room but, this court appearance is likely just a formality.
Sources tell CP that a trial date will be set for sometime this summer unless there is a plea of guilty or a plea deal is worked out..
Morgan is also charged with three counts of felony AWDW, reckless driving to endanger, misdemeanor death by motor vehicle, felony failure to move over for stopped emergency vehicles resulting in death or serious injury, and fictitious tag.
Morgan has been out on a $208,500.00 secured bond since his arrest in December of 2021.
UPDATE:
According to CP sources Morgan has entered a plea of "Guilty" to all charges and will be sentenced at a later date.
Second Update: The Local Paper is reporting that Morgan has been sentenced to 16-29 months the charges were consolidated for sentencing under the involuntary manslaughter conviction.
It is uncertain how long Morgan will actually serve within the State of North Carolina Department of Corrections.
Morgan was taken into custody by Meck County Sheriffs Officers and transferred to the custody of the Meck County Jail.

So I was thinking..Barker hit and killed someone and got probation. A person is a person. Morgan hit a person and gets sent to prison. This really says that it matter who you are and who you hit with a vehicle. The system is not blind. Tragedy is constant in Charlotte like the grass grows tall.
ReplyDeleteI think the sentence was rather harsh considering. We've had DOT workers and Tow Truck drivers killed all accidents but all caused by driver's actions that were negligent. Because however this was a Cop the judge figured let's make an example out of him?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you say to your Captain when they ask you to join a unit that the Chief just fired 5 cops from?
ReplyDeleteYes Sir!
2 paramedics charged with murder for positional aspfixation in an ambulence. That crap happens all the time so be careful CFD!
ReplyDeleteThey won’t do anything. CFD tolerates a driver of a fire truck to blow over the legal limit while on duty, despite a ZERO TOLERANCE policy, and keep his job. All depends who you are.
DeleteBro WTF???
Delete#truestory most likely either at Black Mountain or counting toilet paper rolls at Logistics. Still employed.
DeleteI think the sentence was excessive. 30 days would have been enough. The guy has up until December of last year it seems been pretty lawful. Public defender should been embarrassed. His behavior post crash seems to be the major factor in the sentence. Not surprisingly command hasn't publicly admitted that much of what happened that night was a failure within the department, NCDOT and NCSHP. Being short handed can be fatal. Anyone willing to speak up?

ReplyDeleteThat sex scandal in Nashville reminds me of CMPD.
