Summary
In this episode, Kiran Chawla is joined by East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore as he discusses his office facing a serious funding shortfall, with a growing backlog of cases, and staff turnover. DA Moore says the office has lost 36 assistant district attorneys in 20 months, which has increased workloads and made it harder to keep cases moving, forcing the office to file suit against City Parish Government.
