Russ Goodman looks to make history in Houston and Henry County DA race but Jones will emerge victorious if historical trend continues.
But in times where perception of public officials is often that of corruption and dishonesty, even Jones most ardent adversaries praise his Christian values and lofty morals.
He produced to News 4 documents showing that since Jones became district attorney in 2017, he and his staff have won only 40 percent of trials involving violent crimes. His low point came in 2021 when he lost four consecutive murder cases to begin that year. “When criminals see the case before them, they want to go ahead and plead guilty and throw themselves on the mercy of the court,” Jones said.
Patrick Burris Jones never seemed destined to become district attorney. His expertise had been in civil, not criminal law.He inherited an office that had among the highest conviction rates in Alabama, no matter how cases are tallied.“But what you have to do is after each trial you have to learn from that trial, and you can only do that if you’re in court trying cases and that’s why I’ve gone and I’m not afraid to go to trial,” Goodman said.
