added with this definition, the list is endless of what this nut job could have used to cause the charge to be brought. This could include a stun gun or taser or something as simple as a piece of rope.
(9) "Dangerous instrument" means any instrument, article or substance, which, under the circumstances in which it is used, is readily capable of causing death or other serious physical injury;
It sounds like a stack charge to me and eventually it will lead to intent and premeditation in support of the 1st degree murder charge.

Thanks for posting these definitions. The "Armed Criminal Action" charge is making sense to me now. Literally, any crime using any instrument (even possibly someone's hands) could justify the charge and keep someone locked up for at least 3 years. Sounds like a good solid strategy by LE to make sure Morgan isn't going anywhere while they investigate and build the murder case.
Curious about the third piece of unidentified evidence, the testing results on the training wheels, and what LE seized from Morgan's house on Friday night. With which evidence did Morgan tamper? Hoping there is a boatload of evidence to support the charges filed.
May little Breeann be found today...
