NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - District Attorney Jason Williams directs his prosecutors to no longer oppose the parole of an inmate, no matter the nature of the crime.
“What we’re not going to do is blanketly oppose all parole hearings,” says Jason Williams.
District Attorney Jason Williams’ new policy was first sent to prosecutors in a memo from the office’s civil rights chief Emily Maw.
