July 2019 Group Watch: Charles Graddick to Head Pardons and Paroles
Governor Kay Ivey has appointed former Alabama Attorney General Charles Graddick of Mobile as director of the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles. Graddick served as attorney general from 1979 to 1987. He also served as a circuit judge in Mobile, where he most recently served as senior judicial advisor and director of courts for the city of Mobile. The appointment comes after the legislature passed a bill that gave the governor the appointing authority during the last regular session. The new law goes into effect September 1, which coincides with Graddickâs start date.
