No bail for man accused of fatally shooting Chicago police officer - Chicago Sun-Times
No bail for man accused of fatally shooting Chicago police officer - Chicago Sun-Times: Even as Chicago Police Officer Ella French lay dying, her body camera continued recording her accused killer standing astride her and holding a handgun, a Cook County judge was told Tuesday.
And Emonte Morgan later told investigators in a videotaped statement that he “thought he might have shot the girl and a boy cop,” Assistant State’s Attorney James Murphy said during Morgan’s bond hearing at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse.
Judge Arthur Willis ordered Morgan, 21, held without bail, saying the evidence suggested he “callously” shot French in the head and critically wounded her partner during a traffic stop Saturday night in West Englewood.
