Weekdays 6am-9am

District Attorney Hillar Moore discussed recent developments in East Baton Rouge, including the suspension of Judge Ebony Johnson Rose. The Supreme Court’s decision surprised many, as Judge Rose was actively handling significant cases. The immediate challenge is finding a replacement judge to manage the backlog of cases. Moore emphasized the importance of separating personal feelings from professional duties to maintain public safety. He also provided an update on homicide rates, noting a significant increase earlier in the year but a recent leveling off. Moore highlighted the unusual spike in winter homicides last year and the ongoing efforts to address crime trends.
