Attorney General Steve Marshall has begun proceedings for the impeachment of Clarke County Sheriff William Ray Norris.

Norris was served notice of the impeachment filing Friday.
The Attorney General’s Office began investigating this matter in early 2020, resulting in the decision to seek Norris’ removal from office.

The Alabama Attorney General has launched impeachment proceedings against one of the state’s sheriffs.
Steve Marshall on Friday announced he filed an information of Impeachment and Prayer for Ouster against Clarke County Sheriff William Ray Norris. The information, filed with the Alabama Supreme Court on April 27, is not a criminal charge. Norris was served notice of the filing on Friday.
Efforts to reach Norris, who has served as sheriff since 2011, were not immediately successful.
The Attorney General’s Office began investigating Norris last year, which led to Marshall seeking the sheriff’s removal from office. Norris is accused of four instances of corruption in office and 11 instances of the commission of crimes involving moral turpitude. However, some of the specific allegations are alternate forms of charging the same conduct.

When I was part of a legal team trying to establish that Alabama children in poor school districts had a right to equal educational funding under the state Constitution, we found an unexpected obstacle in our way. In 1956, Alabama had amended its Constitution to say that nothing in it should be construed as recognizing the right to an education. That prevented us from grounding our claim of a right to equal funding in a state constitutional right to be educated.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (CN) At a Monday hearing in a federal courtroom in Montgomery, a three-judge panel seemed reluctant to wade into the rollout of the census data states will eventually use to redraw their political boundaries, questioning whether Alabama even has standing to bring a case seeking quicker release of the data and criticizing the technique the Census Bureau plans to use to keep responses confidential.
Near the end of the hearing, U.S. Circuit Judge Kevin Newsom said there seemed to be a factual dispute over whether the technique called differential privacy is better or worse than the method the Census Bureau used a decade ago to avoid disclosure of identifiable information. There also seemed to be a policy dispute between the bureau and the state over the use of differential privacy, he noted.
