The appeals court ruling comes after Assistant Alabama Attorney General Lauren Simpson was formally reprimanded in a lower court’s order in 2021 and fined $1,500.
in October, after Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall appealed the lower court ruling.
In a case which partially hinged on that process, Simpson contended multiple times throughout the case that Cynthia Stewart, the then-warden at William C. Holman prison, decided on her own to hand out forms in June 2018 to the inmates sitting on death row at Holman. In its Monday order, the appellate judges wrote that Simpson had a “reasonable factual basis to support their representation that Stewart directed the distribution of the form on her own initiative.”
