Joyce Vance, the former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, announced her retirement from government service on Thursday. Vance has served as a prosecutor for over 30 years, and she is known for her tough stance on violent crime and her commitment to civil rights. In a statement, Vance said that she is "proud of the work that we have done together to make our community safer and more just." She added that she is "looking forward to the next chapter in my life." Vance is a graduate of the University of Alabama School of Law. She began her career as a prosecutor in the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office. In 2009, she was appointed U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama by President Barack Obama. During her tenure as U.S. Attorney, Vance oversaw the prosecution of numerous high-profile cases. In 2015, she secured a guilty verdict against Dylann Roof, who killed nine people at a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina. Vance also led the prosecution of Eric Rudolph, who was convicted of bombing the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. In addition to her work as a prosecutor, Vance is also a legal analyst for NBC and MSNBC. She is the co-host of the podcasts "All In" and "The Crime Show." Vance's retirement is a loss for the Department of Justice. She is a highly respected prosecutor who has made a significant contribution to public safety. She is a role model for women and minorities in law enforcement, and she will be missed.
