Summary
Louisiana’s Attorney General Liz Murrill faces indictment after a grand jury accused her of threatening to remove local officials who opposed a controversial state law that eliminated the Orleans Parish criminal court clerk position—just before Calvin Duncan, a wrongly convicted man, was poised to take office. The law, backed by Republican lawmakers and Governor Jeff Landry, was widely seen as an effort to overturn voters’ will in a predominantly Black, Democratic city. Landry has vowed to pardon Murrill, calling the charges a “circus,” but the prosecutor insists the legal process will proceed as normal. Mayor Helena Moreno, meanwhile, remains focused on governing, deferring to the courts to handle the political fallout.
