Link to the whole story in today's paper.
A security camera captured Morgan leading Wong away from the bar to a secluded parking lot across the street. There, according to prosecutors, Morgan sexually assaulted, beat, bludgeoned and stomped Wong nearly beyond recognition while fracturing her skull by smashing her head repeatedly against the ground.
Morgan was convicted of first-degree murder plus two special circumstances which qualified him for the death penalty: murder during a sexual assault, and murder during a kidnapping – for moving Wong from the bar to the parking lot.
The state high court in November reversed the kidnapping special circumstance, finding that the short distance Wong was forcibly moved was too trivial to be considered kidnapping and also of little significance to the overall crime.
But the Supreme Court left intact the murder-during-a-sexual-assault special circumstance, which means he will remain under a sentence of death pending the outcome of his appeals in the federal court system.
Morgan's case now enters the federal court appellate process, which could take years.
So the guy is convicted of sexually assaulting and murdering a woman almost 14 years ago, and now the high court decides leading a victim a short distance away to be slaughtered isn't technically "kidnapping". OK... So the scumbag gets to live years more because he only raped and murdered an innocent woman while not technically kidnapping her.
Do we really need those special circumstances to get a death sentence? Even if he only murdered her and stomped on her head until she was unrecognizable without sexually assaulting her, wouldn't he still have merited the death penalty?!
