More Baton Rouge-area news inside
with Kelly P. Kissel | Metro editorThe mother of a toddler found dead last week after initially being reported missing was in court today for a bond hearing. So, too, was a man identified by family as the girl's stepfather. After the bond amount was set at $375,000 for both, their lawyers said it unlikely they could come up with the money necessary to leave jail. Baton Rouge has "community street teams" designed to stop gun violence in the city. Elyse Carmosino has their story. And a handful of state lawmakers are spreading "complete nonsense" about COVID vaccines, according to scientists. Blake Paterson takes a look at who they are and what they're saying. Thanks for checking in with us at the start of your work week. |
