Morgan has secured three key eyewitnesses who spotted the defendant near the gallery's restricted vault at different times on the evening of the crime, as well as a digital forensics expert who analysed the security bypass. Morgan wants to ensure the jury is fully persuaded by this evidence and views the witnesses as highly credible.
