Yesterday, after months of preparation and days of trial, Gary and our good
friend Jim Woolley received affirmation that the jury system still works.
Our client, Heath Moss, is an Alabama State Trooper who, tragically, was
involved in an accident in which two people died. Although the State Troopers
did not discipline him – because the wreck was not his fault – the District
Attorney of Limestone County prosecuted Heath for two counts of criminally
negligent homicide.
During the intervening months Trooper Moss has received death threats, and
has not been allowed to perform the normal functions of his position. His life
and the lives of his family have been forever changed. However, at 10:45 a.m.
yesterday a jury of Limestone County citizens returned a verdict of not guilty.
The men and women of the jury listened to days of testimony about the accident
and determined that Heath was not at fault.
I suppose I am allowed to brag on my law partner and tell you that Gary was
an accident reconstruction expert during the ten years he served as an Alabama
State Trooper. His intimate knowledge of accident reconstruction played a
crucial role in the trial. During his cross examinations of the Troopers who
investigated the wreck he was able to point out all of their mis-steps and
mistakes.
Of course, Jim Woolley should not be overlooked, even though I’m biased.
His arguments were right on the money and persuasive as only the truth told by a
good lawyer can be. We also would like to thank Eddie Alley, Esq., who served
as local counsel in Athens, and Mr. David Bradley, who is completing his last
year of law school and who, unlike your author, was able to attend trial and was
of great help.
Congratulations, Gentlemen. Job Well Done.
