Attorney General Strange’s Office presented evidence to a Calhoun

crime other than that stated in the indictment may be released at this time.
If convicted, Kiser faces the death penalty or life imprisonment

The case was investigated by the Alabama Bureau of Investigation and
is being prosecuted by Assistant Attorneys General Andrew Arrington and
