Summary
Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill faces a shocking 16-count indictment for intimidation and malfeasance—but within hours, the state’s highest court halted proceedings, calling the move unprecedented. The indictment itself is riddled with procedural flaws: a secret grand jury return and leaks before official announcement. Despite the judge’s claim it was handled properly, the Supreme Court’s swift intervention—on a holiday weekend—signals the case is likely dead on arrival. The feud stems from a political battle over New Orleans’ clerk of criminal court position, where Murrill warned officials of job losses if they pushed for a special election. The court ultimately sided with the original law, and experts say the dispute should’ve ended there. In today’s polarized climate, courtroom showdowns like this aren’t just possible—they’re becoming the new norm. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
