The Mobile County Public Defender’s Office is trying to get temporary Circuit Judge Charles Graddick removed from presiding over some criminal cases.
Those cases involve criminal matters that the District Attorney’s Office was working on during Graddick’s tenure there before returning to the bench part time. One of those cases involves Myles Caples, who is charged with capital murder in the slaying of a Mobile city worker in the Birdville community in 2018.
“There is a reason to question Judge Graddick’s impartiality in this case. ... He was specifically involved in pendin2g murder cases and spoke to detectives on those cases,” the filing states.Mobile County District Attorney Ashley Rich called this effort to get the judge removed “petty.” She told FOX10 News that there is no reason to doubt Graddick’s fairness.
Graddick served for more than a decade as a full-time circuit judge before retiring in 2017. But he began hearing cases this year on a part-time basis to help clear a backlog that built up as a result of COVID-19.
