A Jefferson County judge is denying culpability for approving a plea deal that allowed the early release of a suspect recently charged in the Five Points South shooting and 10 other cases.
The suspect in several deadly Birmingham shootings this summer, including a mass shooting in Five Points South, has been indicted in 11 cases. However, his rap sheet suggests he shouldn't have been on the streets.
Three people were shot and killed at a Bessemer gas station over the Labor Day holiday weekend allegedly by a 20-year-old suspect who was awaiting trial for another shooting death after being released on bond by Democrat Circuit Court Judge David Carpenter.
From denigrating Alabama lawmakers, “MAGA Republicans” and President Donald Trump to promoting Democrat candidates and leftist talking points, Circuit Court Judge David Carpenter maintains an active presence on social media.
