The courts look at death penalty appeals very closely in a legal process known as heightened scrutiny, in which courts should examine death penalty cases for errors because of the life and death consequences of the sentence. But inmates face a daunting challenge in having their death sentences restored, said Dan Kobil, a professor of constitutional law at Capital University Law School in Columbus, Ohio, who has represented defendants in death penalty and clemency cases. Robin Maher, executive director of the nonprofit Death Penalty Information Center, added that the vast majority of inmates on federal death row were grateful for Biden's decision, "which is constitutionally authorized and absolute." Biden's decision to commute the sentences of 37 of the 40 federal death row prisoners, all men, came after weeks of speculation. Biden, however, declined to grant commutations to three federal death row prisoners who were involved in either mass killings or terrorist attacks.

Louisiana’s Attorney General announced Monday a “full review” of New Orleans’ security plans in the wake of the New Year's Day terror attack on Bourbon Street that killed 14 revelers and injured dozens more. State Attorney General Liz Murrill ordered the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation to examine the city’s security plans for New Year’s Eve and the Sugar Bowl after consulting with the governor, she said in a statement. The move comes after criticism and questions about New Orleans’ security protocol, in which it failed to deploy anti-vehicle barriers that it had owned for years. Additionally, other barriers, known as bollards, had recently been removed because they were malfunctioning and needed to be replaced. New Orleans officials have defended the city's New Year's Eve security measures, which they said included installing temporary barriers, vehicles and law enforcement personnel throughout the French Quarter.

The city had also been gearing up for Carnival, with weeks of parades, performances and parties starting Monday. And in February, the crown jewel of American sports: Super Bowl LIX.

The Super Bowl has been designated SEAR 1, the top tier reserved for “significant events” with national or international importance requiring “extensive” support. But there were no such sturdy bollards on New Year’s Eve; they were under repair, with new barriers set to be installed before the Super Bowl takes place.
