Doctors have serious concerns about Tracy Morgan being wheelchair-bound and a verdict has been reached in the murder of Florida teen Jordan Davis. More inside...
We have an update on Tracy Morgan...and its pretty grim. As Tracy undergoes a rigorous rehab schedule including daily speech, cognitive, vocational and physical therapies, the NY Post asked his lawyer, Benedict Morelli if he'd ever perform again and he said,
“The jury’s still out. The doctors don’t know the answer. I don’t know the answer.” Along with that statement, Benedict shared that Tracy has a long road to recovery and it may impact his ability to work and/or ditch the wheelchair.
Recently, we told you that Walmart is attempting to shift the blame for the deadly crash onto Tracy and the other passengers. Tracy slammed Walmart's statement saying,
"After I heard what Walmart said in court I felt I had to speak out. I can’t believe Walmart is blaming me for an accident that they caused. My friends and I were doing nothing wrong,I want to thank my fans for sticking with me during this difficult time.”

In Florida...
Wednesday, a 12-person jury Jacksonville, Florida found Michael Dunnguilty of first-degree murder in the 2012 shooting death 17-year-old Jordan Davis.
Outside the courtroom, Jordan's mother Lucia MacBath expressed her gratitude saying the verdict represented justice not only for her son, but others.
"....For Trayvon and for all the nameless faces and children and people that will never have a voice. Words cannot express our joy but also our great sorrow because ... we know that Jordan has received his justice. We know that Jordan's life and legacy will live on for others, but at the same time, we're very saddened by the life that Michael Dunn will continue to live. We are saddened for his family, for his friends and the community that will continue to suffer by his actions."
For Michael Dunn, you'll recall that this isn't his only conviction regarding the "loud music" trial. In February, he was convicted on one count of shooting into a vehicle and three counts of attempted second-degree murder of the other passengers in the car with Jordan. As of now, he's facing over 60 years in prison.
We'll let you know what happens...
