We open with Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, who was indicted on 16 felony counts by an Orleans Parish grand jury over letters she wrote to New Orleans officials in a fight over the Orleans Parish clerk of court consolidation. All 16 counts were later dismissed, and now the Louisiana Supreme Court has appointed St. Tammany and Washington Parish District Attorney Colin Sims to investigate how the indictment happened in the first place. We walk through the whole story and ask whether a grand jury was used as a political pressure valve.
In the Top 3 Things You Need to Know, we cover two LSU fraternities, Delta Kappa Epsilon and Phi Gamma Delta, suspended amid hazing investigations, and the difference between leadership and abuse. We also cover the GATOR task force, which has already led to 65 arrests of violent criminals across North Louisiana, and the announced retirement of Louisiana Tech President Jim Henderson at the end of the year.
Next, we take a moment to talk about hope. The St. Tammany Parish coroner says the parish is on pace for a record number of suicides this year, and that most are spontaneous decisions made in the worst few minutes of a crisis. If you or someone you know needs help, you can call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
In Digging Deep, we look at the Caddo Parish District Attorney's race between incumbent James Stewart and State Senator Alan Seabaugh, sparked by the escape of Travion Jackson and the five years he spent in jail awaiting trial. We debate who deserves the blame for jail overcrowding and trial delays, from the DA to the sheriff to the legislature.
Then we turn to Pope Leo's message to Europe about its Christian heritage and his call for young people to start families and defend life from conception to death, and we ask whether he goes far enough.
In Say What, we play a clip of David Brooks admitting that the mainstream media has lost its distance from the Democratic Party, and we discuss what it means when journalists stop acting as watchdogs.
We also react to President Obama's claim that government is less corrupt than ever, set against a Gallup survey showing that 89 percent of Americans believe corruption is widespread. Then we play a game about affordability, guessing which states have the highest and lowest average rents and where the affordability crisis actually is.
We close by returning to the terror plot at RAF Fairford in England, asking why five suspects were released on bail and why their names haven't been made public.
