Though McQueen isn’t criminally charged yet, police are investigating, and his ex-wife has obtained damning evidence that could lead to charges — forcing Williams to navigate a messy ethical tightrope. Legal experts warn that while state law permits it now, the optics are toxic, especially as Williams juggles a high-profile public role with a lucrative private practice. The case exposes the blurred lines between justice and self-interest in Louisiana’s legal system. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
