Louisiana Supreme Court freezes indictment of AG amid grand jury controversy

Louisiana’s Supreme Court granted a stay of the 16-count indictment against Attorney General Liz Murrill, citing defects in the grand jury proceedings and the trial court’s handling and allowing defense motions to quash. The stay unfolds amid Republican-vs-Democratic tensions in New Orleans, following secrecy around the indictment and a courtroom closure that drew media protest. Governor Jeff Landry has pledged a swift pardon. The stay does not block filings or potential recusal motions and connects to broader disputes around Calvin Duncan’s exoneration and the involvement of former special prosecutor Laurie White.

Louisiana Supreme Court pauses AG Murrill indictment amid grand-jury controversy

The Louisiana Supreme Court issued a stay halting Attorney General Liz Murrill’s indictment, blasting irregularities in the grand jury process and conflicts of interest surrounding the special prosecutor and the closed courthouse proceedings. The order pauses the 16-count charges and does not rule on the merits, as the court notes extraordinary procedural defects; the ruling comes amid a broader political feud between state officials and New Orleans leaders, with Murrill vowing to seek dismissal and Gov. Landry signaling a potential pardon if convicted.

Ex-NBA Veterans Face Federal Indictment in Illegal Sports-Gambling Case

Former NBA players Malik Beasley and Ed Davis were indicted by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of New York on sports-bribery and related charges tied to an alleged group betting scheme. Prosecutors say Beasley and Davis collaborated to manipulate Beasley’s on-court performance four times during the 2023-24 season with the Milwaukee Bucks, beginning around the Jan. 26, 2024 Bucks–Cavaliers game, amid Beasley’s rising gambling debt and a loan from Davis. The indictment names Davis’s former NBA agent Paolo Zamorano and others as part of the betting group that allegedly wagered tens of thousands of dollars on Beasley’s outcomes. Separately, Terry Rozier faces related charges in the broader probe, with a trial set for Feb. 8, 2027; the case is part of a wider federal investigation into illegal sports gambling and insider information trading in basketball.
