On Wednesday afternoon, a second attempt to remove Shelby County Clerk Wanda Halbert was rejected.
A judge has once again decided that the petitioner for the ouster does not have the legal standing to do so.
Halbert “knowingly or willfully neglected and failed to perform one or more duties, responsibilities, or obligations enjoined upon the Shelby County Clerk …,” according to the August filing of the ouster attempt by attorney Robert D. Meyers on behalf of the Shelby County Attorney’s office.
This is Halbert’s second time surviving an effort to remove him from office this year.
