Resolution to oust Shelby County DA passes first stage
By:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A resolution to remove Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy passed its first stage Thursday.
Tennessee Sen. Brent Taylor (R-Memphis) filed the resolution, which would form a committee to investigate Mulroy’s removal from office. That resolution passed its first reading on the Senate floor Thursday.
Senator Taylor claims the district attorney committed ethical violations and abused his authority as DA.
The resolution will move on to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
