NOLA Judge Blasted in Report

The Times-Picayune reports that the Metropolitan Crime Commission of New Orleans is going to release a report today indicating that Orleans Parish Criminal District Court Judge Charles Elloie grants bail bond reductions at a significantly higher rate than other judges. After reading a draft copy of the report, Judge Elloie noted: "Yeah, it took me by surprise, I knew I was doing the lion's share, but I didn't think the lion was that greedy." The article notes that Judge Elloie has agreed to change some of his practices after reviewing the report.
