Biography

Freddie Morrow, 17, with co-defendants Damien Darden, Marcus Merriweather, and Tony Andrews, followed and shot Michael Westerman near Guthrie KY on January 14, 1995 after seeing a Confederate flag flying from his pickup. Westerman died. Morrow pulled the trigger. Convicted of first-degree murder, civil-rights intimidation, and attempted aggravated kidnapping; sentenced to life plus consecutive 4 + 5 = 9 years.

The complete cached primary Tennessee appellate opinion identifies Frederick D. Morrow in this same Westerman prosecution with Charles Damien Darden and the other named defendants. This adds the formal full-name variant to the existing Freddie/Freddy Morrow profile. The local file remains an HTML challenge and live original retrieval returned404; its 37 cached text pages were read separately without claiming original-page image review. The opinion’s bond-release/revocation account concerns Darden and Merriweather, not Morrow; no custody gap or exact admission/release date is copied to Morrow from that discussion.
