Morgan arrived at the Old Bailey accompanied by five mental health nurses who have been supporting him.<\/p>\n
He was dressed in a dark blue suit and an open necked white shirt as he confirmed his name and date of birth.<\/p>\n
Morgan was visibly in tears as the case was outlined and through his barrister, Michael Stradling, told the court that Morgan wanted the judge to know he was “very sorry”. <\/p>\n
Mitigating, Stradling told the court that Morgan had no history of violence and that the greater risk was “of self-harm or the defendant suffering harm at the hands of others”.<\/p>\n
The court heard that Morgan had been deemed a “high risk to others and to himself” after overhearing conversations that took place since he has been in custody.<\/p>\n
Morgan could not be identified previously during the trial because of his age, but the restriction was lifted on his 18th birthday.<\/p>\n
The prosecution said: “The risk of radicalisation of other vulnerable young children is a possibility.”<\/p>\n
The court was told that youth offending service have “significant reservations about managing your risk in the community”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Morgan arrived at the Old Bailey accompanied by five mental health nurses who have been supporting him.
