Carl Morgan, born 1981, is a producer of the rap group So Solid Crew. In October 2005 he was sentenced to 30 years for murdering a love rival.
He was tried before a jury for the shooting of 24 year old Colin Leyon Scarlett[1] in Tooting, South London, in November 2004.[2]
Scarlett, the partner of Morgan's ex-girlfriend (who has two children by Morgan), 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, who faced a retrial in March 2006 where the jury was discharged before a verdict could be reached.[3] A second retrial began in September 2006, and on 28 September Megaman was found not guilty of murder at the Old Bailey.
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 .[4]
Morgan appeared in the band's video for the track 21 Seconds and[5] Cry.
