Atmore Native Sworn In As Alabama’s Attorney General
February 14, 2017
An Atmore native was sworn in Monday as Alabama’s next attorney general.
Governor Robert J. Bentley appointed Marshall County District Attorney, Steve Marshall, to serve as the 50th Attorney General of Alabama. Former Attorney General Luther Strange was appointed to the United States Senate following Senator Jeff Sessions’ appointment and confirmation as Attorney General of the United States.
Following his appointment, Mr. Marshall said, “It is a great honor to be named Attorney General and I am thankful to Governor Bentley for the opportunity to serve the people of Alabama. The time spent working alongside law enforcement for the last 20 years has been a remarkable privilege. As Attorney General, I will continue to support their efforts to keep Alabamians safe and free from violent crime.”
Marshall was born October 26, 1964, in Atmore, Alabama, the only child of the late Conrad and Mary Jo Marshall. Conrad Marshall was a representative for a sporting goods manufacturer and Mary Jo Marshall was a secretary.
father’s job caused the family to move quite a bit during Steve’s childhood. When he was 3-years-old, Steve moved with his family to Mobile, where they stayed until the end of his first grade year. From there, they lived in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. Despite leaving Alabama in first grade and living in several Southern states, Steve knew Alabama was his home and returned to attend the University of Alabama School of Law.

Otto, I fully 100% agree with you. After reading yesterday that Gov. Bentley wants to not accept lowest bids etc to build new prisons in AL., rather he wants to choose whichever ones ($$$$$) he prefers. Absolutely wrong, and that would certainly open the door to corruption, as if he hasn’t already done that.
Although I’m a native of AL, I have been in Texas for many years, and YES, our state politicians could establish and rub a FRAUD ACADEMY here in this state. Gov. Bentley would fit right in with this bunch.
If Marshall has any integrity, he will recuse himself and appoint a special prosecutor into the Bentley “Affair”. Bentley’s taking of his paramour Rebekah Mason, on the state aircraft, to the Trump Inauguration shows he new that Luther Strange was not going to do anything. Robert Bentley is an insult to the citizens of Alabama and he believes he is above the law. If Bentley has nothing to hide, he should welcome and investigation.
