By KELLY P. KISSEL | Metro editor Louisiana several years ago raised the age at which youthful offenders would be held in adult jails. Now there's a move to lower the age, amid a crime surge and also bursts of violence inside the state's youth lockups. If Louisiana does lower the age, how low would it go? In case you missed it Sunday, David Mitchell had a detailed story on construction of what's essentially a new river, and how when it's built it should ease flooding worries in some parts of Ascension, East Baton Rouge and Livingston parishes. Check out our story and photos. And last week's arrest of a homeless man helped police clear homicide cases in two states. One of the deaths was at a budget motel in Baton Rouge, a killing that prompted a look into why an anti-crime ordinance had never been used. Which state gets to prosecute first? Thanks for starting your week with us. |
