## Resource

Louisiana’s Attorney General Liz Murrill faces 16 serious charges, including intimidation and malfeasance, after allegedly threatening New Orleans officials who opposed a Republican-backed court restructuring. The move targeted Calvin Duncan, a recently exonerated former court clerk, whose position was eliminated under the new law. Murrill claims the charges are retaliatory and baseless, while Governor Jeff Landry calls the proceedings a “kangaroo court” and vows to pardon her. The case underscores a deepening political rift between state Republicans and New Orleans Democrats, with Duncan’s supporters viewing the actions as politically motivated. Murrill’s bond is set at $400,000, and the legal battle continues as local leaders, including Mayor Helena Moreno, insist their focus remains on serving residents.
