Legal View on Sheriff Vacancy and Lynching Laws
A judge's opinion discusses constitutional limits on removing county sheriffs, the validity of a 1901 lynching statute, and whether a coroner may sue. It analyzes whether a sheriff can be ousted by a lynching clause, the requirement for due process, and the proper grounds for information in an ouster action.
