A judge who sparked outrage in the Mobile County District Attorney’s Office last week by allowing to let a convicted murderer stay free until his sentencing has scheduled a hearing on the issue for Thursday.
in the Mobile County District Attorney’s Office last week by allowing to let a convicted murderer stay free until his sentencing has scheduled a hearing on the issue for Thursday.
After prosecutors objected, the judge did something even more unusual: He withdrew his “adjudication of guilt,” a procedural action that formalizes a guilty verdict. The move does not change the defendant’s status. The guilty verdict stands, and he formally will be judged guilty at his sentencing hearing. But it did pave the way for his immediate release form Mobile County Metro Jail on his original bond rather than requiring him to arrange a new bond from a bonding company.
