Pistons' Morris, brother waive court date in Arizona

The defense attorneys for Marcus and Markieff Morris have asked a Maricopa County Superior Court judge to return the case to a grand jury because they say prosecutors falsely presented information that led to an indictment on charges of aggravated assault.

Prosecutors presented "false and misleading evidence" and withheld information vital to the case, the Morris twins' attorneys said in motion to return the case to a grand jury to determine whether there is probable cause to indict the NBA players.

Marcus and Markieff Morris, who played together on the Phoenix Suns before Marcus was traded to the Detroit Pistons, were charged with aggravated assault in an attack against Erik Hood, 36, while at a basketball game at the Nina Mason Pulliam Recreation and Sports Complex in January.
