Gov. Ivey, open an investigation into former D.A. Hughes’ cases
Petition to Open Investigation of all cases handled by former District Attorney Brandon Hughes
To the desk of Governor Kay Ivey,
This petition specifically requests that you direct a special investigation into former District Attorney Brandon Hughes. Brandon Hughes is currently serving a 10 month jail sentence after pleading guilty to crimes ranging from perjury before an Alabama Grand Jury to obtaining and executing warrants that sought after evidence that would benefit him personally in his own criminal charges. It is known to the Lee County community that certain cases have been, and are being, unfairly prosecuted for motives other than justice under the former District Attorney's reign of terror. This travesty should not, and cannot, be allowed to stand.
A District Attorney wields incredible power. They are the arbiter of justice, determining who of us should be charged as criminals. No single individual in all of government holds more power to do harm to the average person than a corrupt District Attorney. The people of Lee County were governed by just that, a corrupt district attorney, who did whatever he wanted, to whoever he wanted, for whatever personal reasons suited his fancy.
Given Brandon Hughes' personal relationship with the Attorney General's office, it is believed that the people of Lee County have nowhere to turn, but you. Governor Ivey, we call on you to issue an executive order opening an independent investigation into the corruption that occurred during Hughes’ short term of office. Specifically, we call on you to order a review of all criminal cases brought by the former District Attorney. This action is needed to restore confidence in the minds of the people here in Lee County, Alabama.
Lives are being destroyed and you can stop it. We call on you now Gov. Ivey, Help us.
Sincerely,
Your People

This is a disgrace, and any person who took an oath to serve and protect who doesn't stand up and find true justice should be ripped of their badge and or office.. This males ALL of Lee County look bad. Do the right thing
I watched every one of the videos of Gabriel and Stephanie regarding their case, and I believe they have been judged wrongly by the government in Lee County. Please take the information in this petition, and give them a chance to speak. They, and many others deserve justice.
I’ve been walking with Gabe since the beginning of this it has become more and more clear that Alabama‘s judicial system is a complete joke. The only right things for the executive branch to open a public inquiry into the wrongful decisions made throughout the judicial system in southern Alabama.
A review of Lee County cases handled by former District Attorney Brandon Hughes is justified and necessary now that he has been convicted of wrongdoing while serving as D.A. In order to assure justice was properly served in those cases.
Gabriel Smith is 100% innocent without a doubt. Brandon Hughes has harassed many people and destroyed many lives in Lee County. Please direct a special investigation into former District Attorney Brandon Hughes.
Please Lord, hear their plea as I skip for my son!
He was the DA at the time of my sons case and my son wasn't given a fair trial and he was inadequately represented. After he was brought up on his charges I filed on my sons behalf with the Attorney General legal department and never heard anything back and I'm still fighting to get my sons case reviewed to get him home with his family. Does anyone have any advice for me

I think at the very least this case should be looked into for any possible misconduct. I personally think that would go a long way to restoring faith and or preserving the faith in our justice system
