Morgan, criticized for trying to pass legislation that would have benefited his liquor store business, has been cleared of a criminal charge filed against him earlier this year. Tuesday, Aug. 1, Judge Wendell Hammonds dismissed that charge and said Morgan was allowed to "take advantage" of the new law even though it had not yet gone into effect. (AP Photo/Adam Beam, File)
