@lasc.sarah: Is he really guilty? Or is he innocent? The teenager broke down in tears in court after being charged with burning his 14-month-old baby brother to death. Matt Morgan’s parents were attending a friend’s gathering and left 14-month-old Joshua Hill in the care of 17-year-old Matt, who had already been diagnosed with multiple mental health issues, including autism. Shortly after, a fire broke out in Matt’s room. When he discovered it, he was terrified and completely forgot that his brother was still inside. He fled the room alone, and by the time he remembered Joshua, it was too late. Investigators found the fire started near a heater, but the evidence showed it wasn’t an accident — it appeared to be an arson carefully disguised as an accidental fire. In court, an emotional Morgan insisted he loved his brother deeply and maintained his innocence. However, the existing evidence was enough to convict him. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison for manslaughter and third-degree arson. His father said, “The pain of losing our youngest son will never go away, and now we have to face the reality of another child locked up.” Do you believe he is innocent? Should the parents be held responsible for leaving a baby in the care of a minor?Please leave your thoughts in the comments.#courtroom #crime #court #prison #fyp #prisoner #murder #criminal
