TPD’s Most Frustrating Case

The jury–metaphorically, alas–is still out on what, if any, charges will be brought in the frustrating case of Cortnee Brantley, accused of not telling authorities she knew that Dontae Morris was a convicted felon illegally possessing a loaded gun on the night two TPD officers were shot and killed. Brantley left the scene where the two officers lay dying, where every life-seeping second mattered, and later exchanged perverse loyalty texts with Morris, the double-murder suspect.

However this shakes out legally, this much is certain: It’s too bad that conduct unbecoming a human being isn’t a crime. It’s criminal that it isn’t.
