The Louisiana Parole Board has decided to recommend clemency for a mother who was convicted of killing her baby due to malnutrition in the months following Hurricane Katrina
Lamar Conners, 17, is accused of shooting and killing a man he lived with. Two days after his bail was set at $2,000, he posted it and was released from custody. A prosecutor called the bail "unbelievable," and a judge ruled it was "completely inappropriate."
