The Louisiana Supreme Court granted an emergency stay of the 16-count indictment against Attorney General Liz Murrill. An Orleans Parish Grand Jury passed down the indictment yesterday, charging Murrill with public intimidation and malfeasance in office. Special Prosecutor Laurie White says Murrill broke a state law prohibiting intimidation and retaliation when she sent letters to New Orleans elected officials telling them they could be removed from office for usurping state law.
