Judge denies defendant's plea to switch lawyers

Joseph Ervin Brown, 27, is accused of the shooting death of 24-year-old Isaiah Lee Morrison on North Nebraska Avenue December 31, 2018. Brown told the judge during a hearing conducted over Zoom Monday that his Hillsborough County public defender, Jamie Kane, has told him they will lose the trial, called him names, and refused to file a 'stand your ground' motion in the case.
