Paul Purpura does a good job writing up the court documents that first appeared on Slabbed last month for NOLA Media Group:

Grand Isle police chief tanked child molestation case, ex-cop says in lawsuit filing

In Mississippi news:

What went down with Dan Jones, college board ~ Sam Hall

The drawback to being one of the last Democrat bastions in Mississippi: Baria, Moran at odds over Tidelands funding ~ Geoff Belcher

Republicans Kill Tidelands Funding for Bay St. Louis ~ Ryan Brown

Five things I can say with certainty is that I reliably hear the District 122 incumbent would be overjoyed if Slabbed made no endorsement on the upcoming election. Another thing is posting pictures of candidates dressed up for St Patrick’s day will not change a single vote down here no siree. Drink enough green beer and you too will dress up like the District 122 challenger. Fourth, my fondest hope is that particular race turns into a nasty donnybrook. Finally, Slabbed New Media will be making no endorsements in the District 122 race but will cover the election if it turns into a nasty fight which I think it will.

Moving right along a Chancery Court Judge took his own life this past weekend:

Rankin Judge Dies ~ Jackson Jambalaya

Finally on a subject I have been hearing a good bit on from the legal community literally going back months:

Law Schools Cooking the Books on Employment Data? ~ Philip Thomas
