The investigation and prosecution were supported by several agencies, including the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, the Conecuh County Sheriff’s Department, and the Evergreen Police Department. The Office of Victim Assistance also provided support throughout the process.
Attorney General Marshall stated that the life sentence reflects the serious nature of the crime and acknowledged the combined efforts of law enforcement and legal personnel involved in the case.
