Odom Trial Delayed by Lack of Oath

The Advocate reports that the trial of Commissioner of Agriculture Bob Odom has been delayed until prosecutor Tony Clayton takes an oath of office and files it with the Secretary of State. The court rejected an argument by East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Doug Moreau that Clayton had already taken several oaths and did not need to have them filed with the Secretary of State.
