Summary
This hour, Newell addresses Orleans Parish Criminal District Court Judge Leon Roche breaking away from 11 other judges by writing a scathing, three-page recusal order that fiercely attacked Laura Cannizzaro Rodrigue, a defense attorney representing Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill. Then, Kristi App, Chief Commercial Officer at the Port of New Orleans, and Captain Henry Peterson, President of the Associated Branch Pilots, join the show to discuss why “the river never sleeps” and how the people guiding these ships keep commerce moving and support jobs and families across Louisiana.
