    0827 Darby State Response

    Uploaded by

    FOX54 News Huntsville
    The State does not oppose releasing the body cam footage from the William Darby case. While pretrial publicity was initially a concern, that concern no longer exists after sentencing. The footage became public record once admitted as evidence at the public trial. No exceptions for withholding the footage, like protected medical information, apply in this case. The victim's family also supports releasing the footage.

    DOCUMENT 177

    ELECTRONICALLY FILED
    8/27/2021 9:12 AM
    47-CC-2018-003238.00
    CIRCUIT COURT OF
    IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF MADISON COUNTY, ALABAMA
    MADISON COUNTY, ALABAMA
    DEBRA KIZER, CLERK

    STATE OF ALABAMA §

    VS. § CC18-3238

    WILLIAM DARBY §

    STATE’S RESPONSE

    Comes now the State of Alabama, by and through the undersigned Assistant District Attorneys, and
    hereby responds to this Honorable Court’s Order:

    The State has no opposition to the release of the body cam footage in this case. While before adjudication

    pretrial publicity issues were a concern, such is not the case after sentencing.
    The State takes no position as to whether the public or media can obtain the body cams from the City.
    However, once the footage was admitted as evidence at a public trial, it became a public record, regardless of its

    status while in the City’s custody. While certain enumerated exceptions exist to releasing trial exhibits (protected
    medical information, exhibits concerning minor children, etc.), none apply to this case.
    The State has communicated with the victim’s family in this case. They are in favor of this Court

    releasing the body cam footage.

    WHEREFORE, the State does not object to the public records request in this case.

    Respectfully submitted,

    /s/ Tim Gann /s/ Tim Douthit


    Chief Deputy District Attorney Chief Trial Attorney
