Initial reports claimed a judge had Doo’s conspiracy charges removed.
Duncan’s attorney, Brian Watkins, talked to 10News on the phone after the ruling. “His spirits are up now,” said Watkins. “It’s been a terrible situation for him. He’s been in jail for over half a year.” Duncan and 14 other gang members were charged in a gang conspiracy involving nine shootings since April 2013. (10News)
