Alabama attorney general candidate Katherine Robertson’s acceptance of a $150,000 campaign contribution from a newly formed corporation has prompted new accusations by one of her opponents of “dark money” in the heated race.

Former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Jay Mitchell criticized the contribution, as he had done with Robertson’s earlier contributions from another organization a few months ago.

Robertson, Mitchell, and Blount County District Attorney Pamela Casey are running for the Republican nomination for attorney general.

The Alabama Attorney General’s Office argues Barbour should not get a new trial, threatening to take the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, even though DNA found on the body of a murdered Montgomery mother recently revealed a match to her neighbor — a man who is now in prison for an unrelated killing.
