NEW ORLEANS - A judge on Friday ordered the release of up to 42 criminal defendants, saying they aren't being adequately represented by the city's financially struggling indigent defenders office, but he immediately delayed the order to mid April.
What is Judge Hunter thinking? Is he trying to make a political point?
Assistant District Attorney David Pipes said his office might appeal. He said most of the 42 defendants face drug charges, but several are charged with violent crimes, including armed robbery and sexual battery.
So some time in april he is goingto release 42 criminals some charged with drug charges but others "SEXUAL BATTERY AND ARMED ROBBERY!" There has to be a better way than just cutting them loose to re-offend,right?http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070330/ap_on_re_us/new_orleans_crime;_ylt=Aj7mtJtuyHnyBzpwA3PVwoFH2ocA

Before you take offense to the chocolate city remark listen to the racist mayor-Nagin, who won reelection last May over Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu, referred obliquely to the "chocolate city" comment at the dinner and suggested that his assertion that New Orleans would once again be a majority-black city had made him a political target.
"Everybody in America started to wake up and say: 'Wait a minute. What is he doing? What is he saying? We have to make sure that this man doesn't go any further,' " Nagin told a room full of black newspaper publishers and editors at the Capital Hilton.
Referring to Landrieu, who is white, as "the golden boy," Nagin suggested his chance at reelection in the mayoral race had seemed slim because "they dispersed all of our people across 44 states with one-way tickets."
"They thought they were talking about a different kind of New Orleans," Nagin said. "They didn't realize that folks were awake, that they were paying attention."

This is typical for a city with a lot of less than intelligent people. This is clearly a result of letting a racist like ray nagin run the city. They want an all black city, I say let them have it. In fact lets send all our criminally prone Negroes from all cities to live in the chocolate city and then build a fence and a mote around it.
