Carl Morgan

Carl Morgan, born 1981, is a producer of the rap group So Solid Crew. In October 2005 he was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering a love rival.

He was tried before a jury for the shooting of Colin Scarlett in Tooting, south London, in 2004.

Scarlett, the partner of Morgan's ex-girlfriend, had beaten Morgan up earlier on the day of the murder. Morgan then returned with a gun to claim his retribution.

The jury failed to reach a verdict on the same charge faced by So Solid Crew rapper Megaman, real name Dwayne Vincent, who faced a retrial in March 2006 where the jury was discharged before a verdict could be reached.

Morgan's trial judge recommended that he should spend at least 30 years in prison before being considered for parole, a recommendation which is expected to keep him behind bars until at least 2034 and the age of 53. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/4355766.stm] .
