In November, according to media reports, former defense attorney Mark F. Morrison was wheeled into a Fayette County courtroom on a gurney wearing a surgical mask for his competency hearing.
Defense counsel Bruce Manchester reportedly told the court that Morrison, who has been charged by the state Attorney General’s Office with bilking two of his clients out of more than $99,000 in a mortgage refinancing scheme, was suffering from a severe bacterial infection. Manchester also said his client was not competent to stand trial because of mental illness, according to court papers.
