Jeff Landry promised to pardon Liz Murrill it may not be that simple

But pardoning Murrill — who faces eight counts of intimidation and eight more of malfeasance, but whose indictment has been stayed by the Louisiana Supreme Court — may not be as simple as it sounds.
The Louisiana Constitution requires the governor to get a recommendation from the Board of Pardons before he can grant clemency to an inmate — and preemptive pardons do not exist in Louisiana, like they do on the federal level, according to multiple attorneys and people familiar with the clemency process.
“You can’t just automatically, with the stroke of a pen, sign somebody out of a criminal conviction in Louisiana,” said Jane Hogan, a Hammond-based attorney who has been practicing before the Board of Pardons for a decade and formerly taught clemency law at LSU.

On Friday, the Louisiana Supreme Court stayed the indictment, citing “procedural defects and improprieties” in the legal process and saying Murrill was likely to succeed on a motion to quash the charges.

They will fight this to prevent a conviction of any kind in the first place. They aren’t just punting on that. It should be thrown out on the front end.

Dude, this case is over. Graveyard dead.
Move on.
Move on.

Yeah, I mean even in New Orleans a grand jury can’t just, of their own accord, indict a public official for simply doing their job.

They can certainly try. Hence the old adage about indicting a ham sandwich.
It doesn’t mean the indictment goes anywhere or that the prosecutor involved doesn’t get reamed out by the state SC.

It won’t get to that. A motion to quash will be filed and it will be granted at some point along the appellate chain.

Didn't the LaSC grant a stay on it? Is the city seriously continuing to move forward on it?

New Orleans withdraws loan request amid growing state tensions
quote:
New Orleans will no longer seek approval from the State Bond Commission for a temporary loan after Mayor Helena Moreno said it had become clear the request was likely to be denied.
In a statement Thursday, Moreno announced the city had withdrawn its application ahead of next week's Bond Commission meeting. The request was not for state funding, but for permission to obtain a short-term loan from a private lender as the city works through ongoing financial challenges, as well as funding for projects including the long-awaited demolition of the former Lindy Boggs Medical Center.

Perhaps if they eliminated a bunch of worthless employees and departments they could get a handle on budget

The legislature trying to do this for them is what led to their tantrum and the indictment to begin with.
Citizens of New Orleans have the RIGHT to hold hundreds if not thousands of useless government jobs!
