Here are the top three stories in Montgomery today:

1. According to the Montgomery County Clerk's office, a woman did not defame former U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore. While Moore was running for U.S. Senate during a special election in 2017, reports surfaced of Moore sexually assaulting women in his 30's. The jury found that the woman was telling the truth about her experiences with Roy Moore. (Reuters)
2. WSFA 12 News has announced its annual Give from the Heart Blood Drive. The drive will be on Feb. 11 starting at 6:00 a.m. at the LifeSouth Community Blood Center on Carmichael Rd. Blood donations are incredibly important during the ongoing pandemic and are a great way to give back to the community in celebration of Valentine's Day. (WSFA)
3. According to the Alabama Department of Correction, three more inmates have died in Alabama prisons after testing positive for COVID-19. More than seventy inmates and three employees have died from the virus. The Department of Corrections says they are offering vaccinations to all prisoners and employees.
