Victims Voice
After the first trial, which
resulted in a hung jury, Barbara Morris family and
friends continued to have
faith that 68-year-old Michael Morris, her husband,
would one day be held accountable for shooting and
killing Barbara inside their
home.
Barbaras ex-husband,
Shannon, attended the trial,
along with his current wife,
his two sons he shared with
Barbara and other members of Barbaras family. It
was extremely difficult to sit
in that courtroom and see
the things we had to see. It
was tough to go back and
relive the incidents of that
fateful day. Shannon held
tight to his belief that God
has a purpose for everything.

tors include: the juveniles prior criminal history, especially any prior
crimes of violence; any prior efforts
that have been made either within or
outside of the juvenile justice system
to rehabilitate the juvenile offender;
the wishes of the victim of the current
violent crime; and the facts and circumstances of the current violent
crime. If the decision is then made to
file charges in adult court, the judge
in adult court can consider juvenile
sanctions or probation, not only time
in jail or prison. Throughout this process, the juvenile and his or her family is always permitted through their
attorney to submit information and
mitigation about the juvenile to the
SAO and the judges. That mitigation
is always considered when making
any direct file decision and any sentencing decision.
