MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - A federal judge on Friday granted a request by a lawyer to transfer her client closer to Mobile so they can prepare for trial in a murder-for-hire scheme.



Darrius Rowser is being held at the Plaquemines Parish Detention Center in Louisiana.
His attorney argued that it was too far from Mobile for her to effectively coordinate with him in preparation for the local trial scheduled for July 15. The attorney told the judge the prosecutors told her it wasn’t “feasible” to transfer him.
Rowser is accused of pulling the trigger at the behest of co-defendant John McCarroll Jr. at the Paparazzi Lounge in November 2022.
Four innocent people suffered gunshot wounds in that incident.

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) -John McCarroll is one of six people who were originally indicted by a federal grand jury for conspiracy to commit murder for hire and murder for hire. The charges are connected to two night club shootings in 2022 as well as a casino shooting in Mississippi that same year. After firing his lawyer, McCarroll represented himself and filed two handwritten motions that went before a federal court judge Friday afternoon.
One was a motion to severance meaning if approved he would be tried separately from the co-defendants in the case. According to his motion, McCarroll felt he wouldn’t have a fair chance to prove his innocence after he says two co-defendants gave statements to the FBI which he feels could lead to him being called as a witness for prosecutors. He also argued that three of the co-defendants were charged and accused in a shooting at a local Walmart, that he has not been charged with.
The prosecution argued that during the trial they plan to present evidence from a phone dropped by Darrius Rowser at that Walmart shooting that includes texts from McCarroll about the murder for hire. They also say they have evidence that includes video of McCarroll standing next to Rowser at the Paparazzi nightclub the night of the shooting. Ultimately a judge denied McCarroll’s motion to sever because he says he didn’t hear anything that suggested McCarroll’s defense would be impacted.
McCarroll also filed a motion to dismiss because he felt he was misled by his former lawyer over his right to a speedy trial. McCarroll wanted a trial within the first 10 weeks after the indictment. But his lawyer said he wouldn’t be ready in time because of how complex the case was. In his motion McCarroll says he signed a waiver to a speedy trial because he says his lawyer suggested it would be his fault if he didn’t have time to prepare. Ultimately the judge overruled his motion with one reason being that the co-defendants did agree to sign the waiver.
The trial is still set to begin in July and McCarroll now has a new lawyer, but the judge says he does have the option to represent himself in the future if he chooses.
