Morgan is also setting up a lawsuit against Walmart for his summer accident. "[Roper] works for Walmart, and I'm going to show, if I have to in court, that that's the culture, that that's what they set up," Morelli said about why he's going after the company. "They know and, by the way, he isn't the only driver that drives hundreds of miles to get to work. They have to make sure that this doesn't happen."
