Prosecutors had alleged that Morgan, 41, stole more than $220,000 in proceeds from three memorabilia signings from Lee about six months before Lee died in 2018. Morgan was arrested the following year. Initial charges of elder abuse and false imprisonment against Morgan were dropped long before the trial.
Kessel argued that the missing money actually went to Lee's daughter and heir J.C. Lee, who was a witness during the trial.
