LSU and its former defensive coordinator John Chavis are in a legal battle. The two sides filed lawsuits against each other. LSU claims Chavis owes a 400-thousand dollar contractual buyout for accepting a job with Texas A-and-M. Legal analyst Tim Meche says where the case will be heard, Texas or Baton Rouge, needs to be settled first…
Chavis filed the first lawsuit in Texas, claiming he took the proper steps when he left LSU to avoid paying a 400-thousand buyout. LSU counter sued, seeking to dismiss Chavis’ suit and have the case heard in Baton Rouge. Meche says having the home court advantage is critical in this case

A straw poll conducted at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference showed Governor Bobby Jindal finishing in 12th place among Republican presidential hopefuls. Jindal received less than one percent of the ballots in that poll. UL-Lafayette Political Science Professor Pearson Cross says this group has not had a good record in predicting presidential nominees…
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul won the poll, followed by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas. Cross doesn’t think the results of this straw poll will discourage Jindal’s presidential aspirations…
Cross says Jindal is not necessarily looking to gain the Republican nomination for this presidential election. He says the governor is looking to get his name out there and becoming one of the players in the Republican Party for future presidential races…

The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s office says the wife of a doctor who admitted to shooting and killing her husband during an argument has not been charged in his death. 65-year-old Wayne Breen was shot early Sunday morning at the couple’s Folsom-area home. Legal analyst Doug Sunseri says in cases like this the DA will often let a grand jury make the next move:
Dr.Breen was an obstetrician/gynecologist. Detectives are working to determine if the shooting was justified. Kacie Breen called 911 around 3am and said she and her husband got into a fight and she ended up shooting him according to cops. Sunseri says the DA will likely let grand jurors decide what happens next…:
Deputies say the couple had a history of domestic issues, including reported physical violence committed by Mr. Breen. In 2012, Mrs. Breen obtained a restraining order against him; that order has since expired. Sunseri says the DA has a couple of options…:

Slidell Police has arrested a Baton Rouge man after he threw his young daughter to the ground while fleeing officers during a shoplifting attempt. Detective Daniel Seuzeneau says officers responded to a call that 24-year-old Lamar Causey was attempting to steal cologne and perfume from a cosmetics store…
As officers approached, Causey threw his 17-month-old daughter to the ground, causing her to hit her head. One officer stopped and cared for the child, while the other officer chased Causey down and apprehended him. Seuzeneau says the incident was truly shocking for everyone involved…
