Brady to Hear Juvenile Case on Friday

State attorneys will be in Judge Brady's United States District Court on Friday seeking to prevent juvenile court judges in 12 jurisdictions throughout the state from deciding if they should pull their juvenile offenders from the troubled Bridge City and Tallulah prisons, reports The Advocate.

The proceedings are pending in juvenile courts in East Baton Rouge, Orleans, Caddo, Lafayette, Evangeline, Calcasieu, Jefferson, Concordia and Lafourche parishes and city courts in Plaquemine, Rayne and Hammond.

The issue is a result of the May 1 death of Emmanuel Narcisse, 17, who died during a scuffle with a corrections officer at the Bridge City prison. The article reports on the flurry of motions that have arisen since.
