The Orleans Parish Grand Jury indictment of Attorney General Liz Murrill was put on hold. The Louisiana Supreme Court issued an emergency stay against the 16-count indictment handed down yesterday. Loyola University Law Professor Dane Ciolino says the indictment is a fool’s errand.

Cut 22 (09) “…end of it.”

Murrill is facing eight counts of public intimidation and eight counts of malfeasance in office stemming from letters she sent to New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno and other elected officials. Those letters informed the officials they could be removed from office if they continued their attempt to hold a special election for the clerk of the newly merged criminal and civil courts, which went against the law combining the offices. Murrill’s attorney, Laura Cannizzaro Rodrigue, says the state’s highest court backed the Attorney General.

Cut 4 (09) “…that was accurate”

The LSU Tigers are a month away from their first fall camp under new head coach Lane Kiffin. Kiffin has welcomed 39 new players from the transfer portal, including three of the top ten-rated portal prospects. Tiger Rag Editor Glenn Guilbeau says expectations are high given the talent in Baton Rouge.

Cut 7 (08) “…playoffs for sure.”

LSU-Alexandria broke ground on a new 43-million-dollar Health Education Campus. Dr. Ryan Riche (REE-shay), the dean of the College of Health and Human Services at LSU-A, says the new facility is designed to address the shortage of nurses throughout central Louisiana.

Cut 14 (11) “…alleviate that problem.”

The 78-thousand-square-foot facility is scheduled to open to students in the fall of 2028.
