Jeff Landry fires lawyer in death row lawsuit; opponents claim 'profound conflict of interest'
Summary by Ground News
Attorney General Jeff Landry is suing the Louisiana Board of Pardons and Committee on Parole. The board hired a Baton Rouge attorney to represent itself in the matter at hand. That lawyer, Art Smith, last week asked the attorney general to recuse himself from the lawsuit. Landry responded by firing Smith from his contracted position representing the board.
