All of Baton Rouge's biggest stories, all in one place.
with Matthew Albright | Assistant metro editorGood morning! Let's get your work week started with some of our biggest stories from yesterday. Search for missing toddler ends in tragedyAfter two days of searching, police found the body of two-year-old Navaeh Allen Sunday in a remote part of Mississippil. They arrested the girl's stepfather, saying he was the one who disposed of the body. Navaeh's family said the stepfather had a toxic relationship with the girl's mother, one that sometimes turned violent. Showdown over age limit for judgeThe Louisiana Constitution says judges can't be elected once they turn age 70. But what happens if a candidate is 69, and only turns 70 before the election because it got delayed by COVID? That's what happeend to one Baton Rouge judge, and a legal fight over whether she's allowed to serve has gone on for a year. Now it's set to go before the state Supreme Court. This story walks you through the unfolding legal drama. How the Texas abortion law affects LouisianaTexas made national controversy when it passed a law banning virtually all abortions, in what some see as a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade. As a neighboring state, Louisiana has seen a noticeable uptick in the number of women coming here from Texas to get abortions. This story explains what's happening, and how it fits into the larger picture of two firmly anti-abortion states. Thanks for reading, and have a great day. |
