The Issue

In the heart of Madison County, Alabama, a young life has been profoundly affected by the shortcomings of those who are supposed to protect and serve justice. At just fifteen years old, August Borden was a vibrant young man with a promising future in football. However, a tragic incident left him severely injured, with medical experts concluding that his injuries were more than likely the result of an assault. This revelation only adds to the tragedy of a system that failed him.

Robert Broussard, the District Attorney of Madison County, had a crucial role to play in ensuring justice for August Borden. Unfortunately, the integrity of this process was compromised under his watch. Against proper protocol, Robert Broussard was said to be contacted by District Attorney Hal Hughston to take on August's case. Rather than adhere to the due process and established procedures, Broussard allowed the case to progress without the necessary consultations with August's doctors concerning his injuries.

Proper handling of this case was essential, not just for August and his family, but for every resident of Madison County who trusts the judicial system to uphold their rights and deliver justice without bias or negligence. By allowing the case to be closed prematurely and without comprehensive understanding of the injuries sustained by August, Robert Broussard failed in his duty to protect the vulnerable.

This is not just about a single case or a single young man's future. It's about maintaining trust in our judicial systems and ensuring that those in power are held accountable for their actions and inactions. The people of Madison County deserve a District Attorney who places integrity and justice above all else.

We call for the removal of Robert Broussard from his position as District Attorney of Madison County. His failure to properly oversee and conduct August Borden's case is a loss for justice and a disappointment to the community. We cannot allow such negligence to go unanswered. By signing this petition, you are not just supporting August Borden and his family, you are standing up for justice, accountability, and the integrity of our county. Please sign and support this necessary call for action.
