New Orleans Grand Jury Indicts Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill on 16 Criminal Counts

A New Orleans grand jury indicted Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill on 16 counts of intimidation and malfeasance. The charges stem from alleged threats made against local officials who opposed a state law to overhaul the city court system. Prosecutors claim Murrill sent letters to New Orleans officials threatening to remove them from office if they did not comply with the changes. The legal battle centers on a fight over state-led changes to local courts in New Orleans. While the Attorney General faces these criminal charges, the Governor has already pledged to issue a swift pardon in response to the indictment.
