Professor Jenny Carroll recently told The Montgomery Advertiser the move by Mark White and his co-counsels to withdraw from Mike Hubbard’s case could delay the trial.
Carroll said there “was no evidence Hubbard is going to be left at a huge disadvantage,” due in part to the defense continuity in his case.
White, Hubbard’s lead attorney since 2013, recently filed a motion in court to leave the case. The motion did not state a reason for the withdrawal, but it was signed by Hubbard.
A grand jury indicted Hubbard in 2014 on 23 counts of using public office for private gain.
