Louisiana court halts criminal indictment against state attorney general

New Orleans Kangaroo Court Issues ARREST WARRANT for Louisiana AG Liz Murrill After Grand Jury Indicts Her on 16 Felony Counts for Defending State Law Against Rogue Local Officials * The Gateway Pundit * by Jim Hᴏft

Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

The Louisiana Supreme Court on Friday stayed criminal proceedings against Attorney General Liz Murrill, one day after an Orleans Parish grand jury indicted her on 16 felony counts. The indictment includes charges of intimidation and malfeasance, alleging Murrill threatened the jobs of New Orleans officials during a dispute over a state law affecting the Orleans Parish criminal court clerk’s office. The stay pauses the case for now, blocking further trial-court action after the indictment was returned Thursday in New Orleans.
