• Ex-Trooper Michael Proctor can plead 5th in murder case dismissal hearing (dailygazette.com) — A judge has ruled that former State Trooper Michael Proctor can invoke the Fifth Amendment at a key hearing on whether to dismiss a Milton murder case he investigated. Defense attorneys argue Proctor's racist and bigoted texts tainted the probe into the 2021 shooting of Marquis Simmons, and Milton police officers are expected to testify at an evidentiary hearing next week.
