From this morning’s Times-Picayune:
Charges reduced against trio arrested in Mardi Gras shooting
Prosecutors have dropped the attempted-murder case against the three men arrested in the Mardi Gras shooting of seven people, opting for lesser charges against two of them.
You may remember that Leslie and my mom and dad were on the scene when this happened on Mardi Gras day. My mom is so proud of Leslie for knocking her down when the shots started.
Way to go DA Cannizzaro. The city makes the national news for a shootout on St. Charles during our biggest day of the year, and you reduce the charges. “Yeah, it’s ok. Shit on just about the only thing New Orleans has going for it these days. No big deal. Never mind that you shot 7 people including a toddler.” Talk about sending a message to criminals.
Gotta keep the brand out there.
