Former Phoenix Suns twinsies Markieff Morris and Marcus Morris are finally set to face trial for their alleged assault on a family friend for getting too friendly with their mom. The twins allegedly assaulted Erik Hood outside a high school basketball gym on a Saturday night in January 2015, an off night between two Suns home games.
The brothers are due in Superior Court on Monday, September 18, as each side makes their opening statements. The trial is officially underway more than 30 months after the assault occurred.
Usual legal back-and-forth delayed the trial, including dueling motions to release and suppress the collection of cell phone records of the victim and the accused.
