The deputy, a black attorney, kept taking on criminal defendants arrested in EBR, meaning a conflict of interest
Why was it a conflict of interest if it involved criminal cases?

The Parish Attorney's office does not prosecute criminal cases.

Perhaps he was using his position to get referrals somehow?

I believe the Parish Attorneys office represents the City of Baton Rouge police department.

it can get complicated really quickly

if any of those criminal cases involved allegations of wrongdoing by BRPD, then there would be a clear conflict

understanding of policies and procedures of BRPD could come into play. he'd effectively be on both sides of that issue
