Shreveport Trials Reset for Next Week

The Times reports that the unavailability of a key witness resulted in the trial delay of 14 consolidated lawsuits, which were filed against Bossier City over the 1997 arrest of 17 Bossier Parks and Recreation Employees. The arrests were related to an alleged payroll-mishandling case, but charges were dropped by then DA Jim Bullers. The trial was rescheduled because one of the two men who led the police investigation is still recovering from recent surgery and the trial is expected to last for six weeks.
