Good morning and thanks for joining us. Here's a look at some of our top headlines. Vappie indicted: Jeffrey Vappie, the retired New Orleans police officer on Mayor LaToya Cantrell's security detail was indicted by a federal grand jury Friday on seven counts of wire fraud and one count of lying to investigators. The indictment alleges Vappie sought to conceal a months-long romantic relationship he allegedly had with Cantrell in order to continue to receive his publicly funded salary. James Finn has the story. Collateral damage? The Vappie indictment may also shed light on another major development last year. Federal prosecutors suggest Cantrell may have decided against giving former interim Police Superintendent Michelle Woodfork the permanent job as chief because Woodfork upheld the findings of an internal investigation into Vappie's conduct. John Simerman has the details. Thou shalt wait: Classrooms in five Louisiana parishes won't have the Ten Commandments posted when students return to school next month while a judge considers the constitutionality of the controversial law requiring public schools and universities to display the biblical text. Patrick Wall has the story. We've got plenty more news, entertainment and sports from The Times-Picayune here. Thanks for reading. Chad |
