Alabama attorney general sues state’s ethics commission alpolitics
According to the suit, Marshall’s office says the Ethics Commission violated the Alabama Administrative Procedures Act by adopting a rule that states it does not have to disclose information or evidence to someone under investigation that could aid in their defense or clear them of any charges.
The suit adds that in adopting the rule, the commission violated the federal Brady rule, which requires such disclosures. The AG’s office said the commission’s actions now undermine cases the commission may refer to the AG’s office for possible prosecution. The lawsuit further claims that the commission has started withholding cases that would normally be referred to the AG’s office in response to being publicly questioned over the policy and that instead, the commission has begun imposing its own administrative fines.
In January, Marshall addressed the commission, saying an investigation into the 2021 ethics case of Finley and Reaves found “demonstratively false evidence” and “material misrepresentations of fact.”and took the rare step of stripping the commission’s then-general counsel and a senior investigator from representing the state in legal matters.
