☆ Prosecutors Dismiss Charges Against Louisiana Troopers Who Bragged of Beating a Black Motorist
  + stars: | 2024-02-09 | by ( Associated Press | Feb. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +4 min
It came about a year after the deadly 2019 arrest of Ronald Greene in northern Louisiana, a beating that also resulted in state charges. “The system is rigged against people like Antonio,” said Harris’ attorney, Michael T. Sterling, who first learned about the dismissals on Friday from The Associated Press, which confirmed them in an interview with the district attorney. Douciere did not explain why she dropped the charges but said Friday that she also plans to dismiss the prosecution of George “Kam” Harper, the third white trooper charged in Harris' arrest. Investigators determined Brown never revealed to state prosecutors that body-worn camera video of the arrest existed. Harris' attorney long said he was hopeful the Justice Department would bring civil-rights charges, but that didn't happen after a federal grand jury heard evidence in the case.

The debate, which was hosted by Nexstar Media Group, Inc., aired on multiple Louisiana news stations including KLFY. While Wilson supports exceptions and a ballot initiative to allow citizens to vote on the abortion laws, he has previously stated he is pro-life. All candidates addressed the death of Greene, who was killed after being arrested by Louisiana State Police. Schroder and Landry have backgrounds in law enforcement and said they are willing to meet with the Greene family. While most of the night was spent on issues, some candidates took the opportunity to verbally spar with Landry, who skipped the first debate.

The Justice Department said it concluded that the LDOC denies individuals' due process rights to timely release from incarceration. "LDOC is deliberately indifferent to the systemic overdetention of people in its custody," the Justice Department concluded. Between January 2022 and April 2022, 26.8% of the people released from LDOC’s custody were held past their release dates, the Justice Department said. The Justice Department initiated its investigation in December 2020. The notice said a lawsuit could be initiated by the Justice Department if the issues are not addressed.
