For those of you asking about the Magistrate and how the warrants got signed... here ya go! We have asked our selves this very same question over the years.
The link below is to the Incident Accident Report completed by the Lowndes County Sheriff along with a copy of the deposition Mr. Morrow competed to get the Warrants.
I would like to point out a few thing....
On the Incident Accident report the Sheriffs identify Mr. Morrow as employed by the State of Alabama as a Game Warden. (He had retired in 2008) also they identified him as a Law Enforcement Officer. In their description they state that Mr. Morrow observed Walker Cox shooting an unknown type weapon..(is hearing it observing). Mr. Morrow testified that he did not see it only heard a noise and in court could not tell you who allegedly shot or which side of the vehicle the alleged shot came from.
While I know the deputies completed this form and it is probably not against the law, in my opinion, it does go to show you their mentality towards Mr. Morrow.
On the deposition Mr. Morrow completed... he clearly writes that he observed and heard a high powered round explode. Yet in court he only hears????
I know the copies are bad and hard to read but this is what I received from Lowndes County when I requested a copy of their case file.
