EBR DA Seeks Reinstatement of Charges Against Odom

The Times-Picayune reports that EBR prosecutors were at the First Circuit Court of Appeal asking the court to restore charges tossed out by 19th JDC Judge Don Johnson, who has thrown out part or all of the 10 counts of alleged wrongdoing against Odom. "One of the key issues discussed Thursday is whether Odom can be charged with felony theft for having agriculture department staff work on his personal projects while being paid by the state."
