I guess what I don't understand is how the Athens PD and DA are able to release all the details of the crash in depth as well as the nature of the charges and witness statements.

I've been credibly informed by Alabama commenters that you just have to "wait for the trial" because law enforcement does not release information to the public.

Should Athens be cleaning house in their law enforcement and DAs office for this gross negligence?

Why do they need to explain anything to the public anyway?

Because charges have been filed.

There is no blanket rule in place across every PD in every state in the country related to what they decide to disclose to the public related to a criminal investigation. A lot of it is their prerogative and multiple interrelated factors.
