You reckon the fact that Rusty Morrow is the Executive director of the Alabama Conservation Enforcement Officers Association had any influence on the verdict?
Not as much as he is probably well respected in Lowndes Co. as a LEO and long time resident. I'm not making a judgment and saying this respect is deserved or not because Lowndes Co. hasn't always been in the forefront of integrity among its officials or citizenry. I do truly doubt that his professional affiliation, which I doubt a judge is even aware of, played any part in it.
