CHICAGO, Ill. -- Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart is telling ABC7 about an alleged murder-for-hire plot uncovered at the Cook County Jail.
Dart says a jail inmate solicited the murders of witnesses in an upcoming trial.
Eighteen-year-old Pharoah Morris is facing new charges. He is already awaiting trial on charges in the 2010 murder of a 16-year-old Bowen High School classmate.
Early this summer, jail officials got information that an inmate was looking to hire a hit four, actually -- three young women and a young man, who may testify against the inmate.
