Judge Not Allowed to Fund Defense With Campaign Funds

The Ethics Board ruled that State District Judge Alan Green cannot use his campaign fund to pay for his defense. The Times-Picayune reports that Green is accused of taking more than $20,000 in bribes from Louis Marcotte, III, a bail bondsman, so that Marcotte could maintain a near monopoly on bail bonds in the 24th JDC.
