High conviction rate for feds

MOBILE, Ala. - If you’re prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s office in Mobile, the odds are, you’ll be convicted.

United States Attorney Kenyen R. Brown says his office has earned a spot in the top ten ranking of districts that registered the largest number of convictions per capita; it is seventh in a field of 94 other districts.

Brown said, “The high ranking my office was able to achieve is due in no small part to the significant partnerships we have been able to forge with our federal, state and local law enforcement partners, as well as our local prosecuting offices.”
