A New Orleans man exonerated after serving nearly 30 years in prison has a new fight on his hands. Calvin Duncan has been elected as the city's new clerk of criminal court, but now Republican lawmakers are racing to eliminate the position. Duncan won the clerk's office by promising to fix a system that failed him when he was trying to prove his innocence. Now, Gov. Jeff Landry and the GOP-controlled Legislature are seeking to shutter the office Duncan won. Senate Republicans passed a bill Wednesday to eliminate the Orleans Parish clerk of criminal court, saying it's part of a broader judicial overhaul. New Orleans is a predominantly Black and Democratic city, while the state Legislature is mostly white.

Court filings of abuse against children have included refusals to provide clean water, rotten food contaminated with worms, dangerous medical neglect, sleep deprivation, denial of legal counsel, the separation of children from their families, and retaliation against families protesting the inhumane conditions.”
