Gloria Gomez reports
TAMPA, Fla. - Mikese Morse, the man accused of running over a Tampa family with his car back in June of 2018, has a good chance to avoid prison.
Lead prosecutor Scott Harmon had the bombshell announcement during a virtual hearing this morning. We are in agreement to allow the defendant to be found not guilty by reason of insanity, he said.
Harmon explained to the court that both the defense s and state s court-appointed doctors agree: Morse was insane at the time he killed a father of two. Now, Hillsborough Judge Mark Kiser will have the final say at a hearing next month.
