The state corrections department says the state is seeing a positive impact of the criminal justice reforms that went into place one year ago. They say the reduction of prisoners saved the state 12-million dollars and the new parole system has seen the total supervised population fall by 7,000, because offenders are now able to work towards certain goals to get out the system. But Louisiana District Attorney Association President Ricky Babin says he’s not exactly happy about the shortened parole periods.

It is now legal in Louisiana to rescue a pet or a child from a locked, parked vehicle, by smashing a window to get in. The new law provides criminal and civil protection for good Samaritans who take action to save a life. The law does not state that it has to be a hot or cold day to take action.

The Louisiana Department of Corrections says the first year of the criminal justice reforms is having a positive impact. D-O-C says the reforms have saved 12 million dollars. On November 1st, 19-hundred offenders were released and 120 of them are back in custody. But President of the Louisiana District Attorney’s Association Ricky Babin says he’s learned five of the prisoners released have been charged with murder, so just because someone is labeled nonviolent by the system, doesn’t mean they aren’t potentially dangerous.

Babin says the state needs to continue to monitor the criminal justice reforms and nothing can be celebrated at this point.

(Another crane has been whooped) Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries agents have cited 52-year-old Gilvin Aucoin of Ville Platte for violating the Endangered Species Act by illegally shooting an endangered whooping crane. Spokesperson of LDWF Adam Einck says agents were notified after a female crane was found in an Evangeline Parish crawfish pond.

Having distinctive markings and standing up to four to five feet tall, whooping cranes are not hard to miss. Einck says there is no good excuse for shooting this animal.

Cut 8 (11)  “summer in Louisiana”

Whooping cranes are native to Louisiana and are especially vulnerable to extinction due to their long migrations patterns and small populations. Einck hopes conversation efforts will help whooping cranes find suitable habitat to repopulate on their own.

Einck says that violating the Endangered Species Act can bring up to a $50,000 fine and a year in jail.

The investigation is still underway.

However, there are some restrictions you need to keep in mind before you bail a baby out of a bad situation. First, Hafele says you need to display some restraint when damaging the vehicle.

And second, you can’t hurt the dog or minor when trying to save them. That means shooing interested dogs away from the glass before breaking, and making sure you don’t smash a window where the shards could hit a small child. Hafele says, be smart about it.

The law does not state that it has to be a hot or cold day to take action.
