Hours after a grand jury declined to indict Ernest Bernard Felton in the April 10 shooting deaths of two 19-year-old Southern University students, the 23-year-old man walked out of Parish Prison.

Felton, whose bullets police say killed freshman Annette January and sophomore Lashuntae Benton outside of a party at an upscale apartment complex near LSU, spent more than five months in jail before a grand jury on Wednesday took no action on a slew of possible charges: Two counts each of second-degree murder, two counts of illegal use of a weapon, one count of attempted second-degree murder and a count of obstruction of justice.

The grand jury's decision to pretermit, which means the jurors took no action on the charges, leaves open the possibility that prosecutors could present their case again if more evidence becomes available.

Wonder if they'll try it again.

Is it possible for black on black to be racist?

Five months to decide. Don't people have a right to a speedy trial? I know the term is relative. But jeez

Usually that happens because the defense delays the process. If I remember correctly, the state only has 90 days to proceed.
