Shelby DA Sues Over Targeted Task Force Laws

Shelby County DA Steve Mulroy is suing over new state laws he says unfairly target his office, claiming they’re vague, redundant, and politically motivated—designed to interfere with his prosecutorial discretion and divert resources from real law enforcement. The laws impose unique oversight on task force cases and empower the AG to appoint special prosecutors, despite Mulroy’s office already complying with state reporting standards. His team argues the administrative chaos—caused by flawed, third-party case data—makes enforcement nearly impossible. Mulroy alleges the laws stem from outside political pressure, not performance issues, and is asking a judge to strike them down as unconstitutional.
