By Jerry DiColo


TRIALS RESUME: Lurline LaBeaud-Duncan rushed to the home of her son Gregory Heisser in 2018 and received the devastating news he had been shot and killed along with fiancée, Darnisha DeSilva. Now, more than three years later, she is still waiting for justice amid COVID-related court closures. Her story is like that of many victims' families as New Orleans courts begin jury trials again next week.
