For the second time since Kenny Stabler's June 8th arrest, a prosecutor appointed to handle the D.U.I. case has recused himself. Prominent Eastern Shore D.U.I. defense attorney James Scroggins, who was just appointed to prosecute Stabler this week, recused himself from the case. Scroggins was appointed to replace Robertsdale city attorney Ken Raines, who recused himself from the Stabler case earlier this month. Both attorneys have cited conflicts of interest.

Stabler was pulled over by police on Highway 59 in Robertsdale June 8th for reckless driving. Police charged the "Snake" with D.U.I. A judge has sealed all evidence in the case and has told authorities not to comment about Stabler's arrest.

News 5 caught up with two former Crimson Tide football stars at a celebrity sports event in Orange Beach Friday. Former Alabama greats Don McNeal and Jerimiah Castille say they hope the "Snake" can recover from his latest sack.

"Kenny will bounce back," says McNeal. "He always does. It's an unfortunate situation."

"What he's done at the University of Alabama in playing, I want to see him recover from this situation and continue to do what he's doing there at the university," says Castille. "I wish Kenny the best and we're all praying for him."

Stabler's trial date has been set for June 13th in Robertsdale.

I loved his football but his personal habits here of late have turned to feces and tarnishing his past glory. COME ON SNAKE pull yourself out of the binjo ditch and get back out there on the field of the straight and narrow. YOU DA MAN you can do it!

I don’t think many people much care if the Snake wants to tie one on. He just needs to stay away from the steering wheel. Call a friend or hire a driver! Geez, it ain’t rocket science!

Well I think it’s a good thing because you would want someone doing the prosecution that would really try to convict him.

Another case of ole Kennys eastern shore friends has to bail out because of close ties.
