Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy has announced that his office will place a priority on 12 violent crimes in the new year, reports the Commercial Appeal. The offenses include first- and second-degree murder, carjacking, aggravated robbery, aggravated assault while firing a gun, violent sex offenses, aggravated burglary, possession of a firearm by a violent felon, possession of a firearm with a stolen car, possession of a Glock switch, and retail smash and grabs. Mulroy said his office will focus on investigating and expediting processing of these crimes. The office also will argue for court-ordered monitoring if bail is set in any of these cases, and notify victims if the individual commits another crime while out on bail.
