Supreme Court Halts Murrill Indictment | Little Rock News

The Louisiana Supreme Court has halted criminal charges against State Attorney General Liz Murrill, ruling that the indictment—accusing her of threatening jobs over the controversial election of Calvin Duncan as New Orleans’ criminal court clerk—was procedurally flawed and legally unsound. The court highlighted conflicts of interest and questioned the validity of the intimidation charges, which require unlawful threats or bodily harm. With 16 counts, the indictment now faces serious legal hurdles, and Murrill is likely to prevail if she challenges it. Governor Jeff Landry, a Republican, has vowed to pardon her and launched an investigation into the grand jury process, calling the case a “political witch hunt.” The ruling, while majority-supported, drew dissent from Democratic justices, and the legal and political firestorm continues to burn.
