Montgomery, Alabama
Former Montgomery police officer Aaron Cody Smith will soon be released from prison following a plea agreement.
“This case first came to my office on appeal in 2020. Despite my personal misgivings about the strength of the case against Mr. Smith, my office successfully defended the conviction in accordance with our statutory duty. I then watched as the case went on to the Alabama Supreme Court and back again to the trial court late last year.
My heart also goes out to the Smith family. Mr. Smith chose an honorable career of protecting the public and his life was shattered in an instant —a reality that all law enforcement officers today live in fear of. He has paid a high price. It is time for him to go home.”Earlier this month, Montgomery County District Attorney Daryl Bailey announced that the Attorney General’s Office would assume the case from his office.
