I haven't posted in a while because there has been no word. As many of you know we filed an appeal with the Alabama Supreme Court.
This morning we received a call from our Attorney Ben Hand, letting us know that, after 2 LONG years of dealing with this we finally have a decision:
THE CASE WAS REVERSED AND REMANDED FOR ACQUITTAL!!
Hallelujah! While the wheels of Justice turn slow, they do turn!
It has been a LONG AND STRESSFUL, not to mention costly, 2 years. It is a relief to know that this part is over.
I do find it disheartening that the Lowndes County Justice system would allow this to happen based on the word of a retired game warden. 3 boys were arrested, tried and found guilty all because of something this RETIRED game warden heard. As it was stated - "Mr. Morrow has given 20 years of good service to this community and I value his opinion" This was the epitome of the SMALL TOWN JUSTICE!
A special thank you to our Attorney Ben Hand, without him none of this would have been possible.
As we move forward with trying to get this expunged from their records and other proceedings I will keep you posted.
Thank you all for your support and feedback, negative or positive! We will keep posted.
