INDIANAPOLIS- United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, Zachary A. Myers, issued the following statement on the death of former U.S. Attorney Timothy Morrison.

“The U.S. Attorney’s Office is deeply saddened to hear of Tim Morrison’s passing. Tim served his fellow Hoosiers in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for over 23 years. On three separate occasions he led our office as U.S. Attorney, in 1993, from 2000 to 2001, and from 2007 through 2010. He served in office leadership for many years as First Assistant U.S. Attorney, and successfully prosecuted a wide variety of offenses, including violent crimes, public corruption, fraud, firearms, and national security crimes. Tim was a lifelong prosecutor, who also served in the leadership of the Monroe County and Marion County Prosecutors’ Offices prior to joining the Department of Justice.

In addition to his accomplishments as a prosecutor, Tim was a beloved professor at his alma mater, Indiana University’s Maurer School of Law. For almost ten years, law students benefited from Tim’s wisdom, experience, and passion for our profession. Tim’s dedication, compassion, decency, and commitment to promoting justice have left an indelible mark on the U.S. Attorney’s Office and on our community. We offer our sincerest condolences to Tim’s wife, Linda Hunt, and all of his family, loved ones, and colleagues.”
