Sheriff Rex Bowling Treasurer Marilyn Talbott and Register of Deeds Shertie Capper ran unopposed. Attorney Wendell Barker is the lone candidate for county attorney, replacing retiring Democrat Jim Clark who seeks the State House. Multiple township and precinct races fill out the filing slate with several write-ins possible.

Leaverton Case Charges Consolidated In District Court
County Attorney Jim Clark won a move to add an escape charge to the existing counts against David Jude Leaverton of St. Joseph Missouri. Leaverton, 23, is accused of shooting a hitchhiker near Princeton in January and escaping from county jail June 8 by prying open a window screen. He was recaptured the next day along I 35. Consolidation means his July 8 trial will cover aggravated battery and aggravated robbery tied to the hitchhiker shooting, plus the escape charge. A burglary charge tied to a Nancy Bruington residence was dropped after Leaverton waived his preliminary hearing on the escape.

Unconstitutional Alabama Death Penalty Law Struck Down
The Supreme Court, in a 7-2 decision, nullified Alabama’s death penalty law for restricting juries to verdicts of guilty or not guilty and a separate death sentence. The ruling freed 45 inmates from death row for now, with state officials listing 38 to 45 potentially affected, and the Alabama Supreme Court will decide on possible new trials or resentencing.
