In the third edition of the TBA Criminal Justice Section’s survey of candidates in contested district attorney general races across the state, we hear from Shelby County candidates: District Attorney Amy Weirich (incumbent) and challenger Steve Mulroy, a criminal defense lawyer and professor at the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law. The section asked them seven questions, including how they will address rising homicide rates, their views on bail bond reform, and whether they believe racial and ethnic disparities exist within the criminal justice system. Read the full interviews. Voters will decide contested district attorney general races across the state tomorrow.
