2nd Chances

 

Nigel Shelby's death was mocked by deputy

    WHNT TV reports developments in the story of the North Alabama Sheriff's deputy fired for mocking the suicide of a bullied gay teenager, and then defending his comments as freedom of speech.

"Liberty, Guns, Bible, Trump, BBQ—That's my kind of LGBTQ movement...I'm seriously offended there is such a thing such as the movement. Society cannot and should not accept this behavior,"

      Jeff Graves resigned from the Madison County Sheriff's Office several days later.

      Now Graves has been hired as an officer with the nearby Owens Crossroads police department.

"Everybody deserves a second chance," Owens Cross Roads Police Chief Jason Dobbins told WHNT, adding that, "Justice is blind."

     Gaves will be on the job starting Monday.
