State Sen. Brent Taylor, R-Eads, has revealed nine allegations that he says are grounds for the removal of Shelby County District Attorney General Steve Mulroy. According to the Daily Memphian, Taylor laid out his case at the Memphis Police Association headquarters this week. Among his allegations, Taylor says that Mulroy unethically colludes with judges and circumvents the authority of the Tennessee legislature, and that his office no longer opposes parole for first-degree murder convictions, no longer opposes waivers for court costs and fines, and engages in race-based prosecution. Mulroy has mounted a public defense campaign, recently posting videos that push back on calls for his removal and demonstrating his compliance with Taylor’s record requests.
