Chronological Collection of Morgan-LE-SA Statements **LIST ONLY NO DISCUSSION**

[Miss Muffet]

I'd like to compile all of Sherrif Morgan's press conferences/interview statements and see word-for-word what he said in chronological order.

Let's try to collect TRANSCRIPTS of his past and present press conferences.

After they are all posted here, we can organize them in chronological order.




To make this easy to organize, let's try to do the following:

When you find one, post the date of the press conference or interview along with a link to the transcript.

If we can't find transcripts, we'll use quotes from newspaper articles, but post the date of the quoted press conference, not the date of the article.

Include whether you are posting a link to a transcript or an article with quotes.



Edited to add: Let's include any statements---by even the state attorney and other law enforcement agencies too.

Snippet:

.....But Florida police have now unequivicably stated they are not investigating the murder of Byrd and Melinda Billings as a contract hit.

Sheriff's spokesman Ted Roy said Tuesday that investigators only considered a contract hit as a possibility for “a fleeting second during the initial phase of the investigation.”

“Could it still be a motive? I guess it could, but someone else other than the investigators assigned to the Billings case will have to investigate it because investigators working the Billings case sure don't believe so,” he said.

Investigators also said they did not anticipate further arrests....
