Governor Jeff Landry demands audit in the municipality of Orleans Parish | Crime/police

Since seven men on the Lam were still on the LAM three days after a brazen jailbreak in New Orleans, governor Jeff Landry tightened his influence on local affairs in the name of public security and ordered several state investigations to escape.

In a press conference on Sunday evening, Landry said the Attorney General, the State Department of Corrections and the general inspector general inspector would examine the escape, the guidelines of the Orlean Justice Center and the number of occupants that are waiting for the conviction.

The governor will also order the state's judicial commission to examine Orleans judges with high acquittal rates or are only slowly in court.

Landry, flanked by the state police of Louisiana, the FBI and other law enforcement authorities and said that the movements were a necessary review of a judicial system in New Orleans that has been out of control.

“Now there is no excuse for the escape of these violent criminals,” said Landry. “There is also no excuse for the way these cases are currently being managed incorrectly in our criminal justice system.”

He also tried to jump his agenda for law and order and Sheriff Susan Hutson, the district prosecutor of Orleans Parish, Jason Williams, and judge at the Orleans Parish Criminal Court, who asked at one point in time that Williams and judges explained why the men who were not in court were not put in court.

At another time he said that “elected officers without experience in the front” were responsible for “lack of security and order”. Hutson was the city's independent police monitor before it became sheriff. Williams was a city council member and defender.

When asked about a comment, Hutson said that she saw the governor's audit “as another necessary step towards transparency”.

“But it is also critical that we recognize the long -term, systemic challenges that have influenced this institution for years, challenges that I have been working on since the beginning of my term,” she said in an explanation.

Williams and several judges did not return any inquiries for a comment on Sunday.

Escape updates

At the center of Landry's latest conviction is the escape of 10 inmates from the prison of the municipality of Orleans. Around 1 a.m. the occupants broke through a cell door and slid through a hole in the wall behind a toilet after a lonely security guard took a meal break. The prison staff only discovered their absence at 8:30 a.m.

Three of the refugees were captured on the first day after escaping. You are Kendell Myles, Robert Moody and Dkenan Dennis. The seven are still on the run Antoine Massey, Lenton Vanburen, Jermaine Donald, Leo Tate, Derrick Groves, Corey Boyd and Gary Price.

The superintendent of Louisiana State Police, Colonel Robert Hodges, said on Sunday that the remaining refugees might have left the municipality or the state, but that the law enforcement authorities have had all “implementable intelligence”.

The rewards for information about the whereabouts of the refugees have been significantly increased, whereby the FBI offers 10,000 US dollars per inmate, which offers the office for alcohol, tobacco, tobacco, firearms and explosives with 5,000 US dollars per inmate and crimestops, which offer 2,000 US dollars per inmate. Landry said on Sunday that state officials would add 3,000 US dollars to the Crimestopper Pool and bring their total award to 5,000 US dollars.

The authorities believe that the occupants of the occupants could help them escape again. Landry warned that someone who supports or housed the refugees would also be arrested.

The Louisiana State Police has directed the investigation to find the remaining refugees.

Landry's handling of the abandonment of other state agencies with the investigation of the jailbreak and the associated problems with the broader judicial system in New Orleans, after initiating comprehensive changes to the state's criminal judicial system at the beginning of his term in office. This term also strongly aimed at New Orleans as a city, which is spread with crimes, on the dismay of its legislative delegates.

The governor started Troop Nola, a troop of the state police dedicated to the city, and urged a constitutional change that expanded the state's judicial commission, which is commissioned to investigate and discipline judges that violated ethics rules.

This justice commission will now focus on New Orleans, he said.

Hutson absent

While representatives of several other local and state law enforcement agencies were present at the press conference on Sunday, Sheriff Hutson, who monitors the prison, was not there.

When asked by a reporter in which Huston was on Sunday evening, Landry said: “I don't know and hopefully have the prison.”

Her absence was only a few hours after the operating officers had made an explanation that they would not have any interviews except for more or hold press conferences.

In another explanation after Landry's press conference, Hutson pointed out that she also started an investigation of the basic causes of the violation and that she was working with the independent probe of the office of the Attorney General Liz Murrill.

“We appreciate the support of our partners for law enforcement and judicial systems. Moments like this require coordination, communication and common responsibility between the agencies.” Said Hutson.

Landry joined a choir of elected civil servants on Sunday who said that fleeing was a complete failure of prison operations.

Hutson, who competed in a controversial race for the re -election, suggested in Briefings after the escape that it could have been an inside job in connection with the race. The community's employees in Orleans were suspended without payment.

The incumbent sheriff also accused the lack of financing and incorrect equipment.

Mayor Latoya Cantrell, who came to Landry at the press conference, said on Sunday that her government had broadcast over 577 million US dollars for Opso during her seven years, of which she said that she was the operating costs for prison.

“So we have our part, my administration, and we will continue to do so on behalf of the residents and visitors we serve every day,” said Cantrell.
