Fighting for Mikese Morse
Mikese Morse and his family sough psychiatric care for his struggles for nearly a decade before he took himself to a police station, telling officers he was afraid he was going to hurt someone. He was institutionalized, but released prematurely. Almost immediately, he was driving when he plowed down a father and son riding their bikes on the sidewalk.
