ATTEMPTED SECOND DEGREE MURDER. ONLY ABOUT FOUR THERE’S A RIFT BETWEEN THE NEW ORLEANS DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND THE NOPD AND IT ALL CENTERS ON WHY JASON WILLIAMS OFFICE FILED A JOINT MOTION WITH LAWYERS REPRESENTING THIS MAN RIGHT HERE. COP KILLER TRAVIS BOYCE. THE MOTION IS OVER JURY SELECTION IN THE HIGH-PROFILE CASE VOICES SERVING LIFE AT ANGOLA CONVICTED BACK IN 2018 FOR THE MURDER OF NOPD OFFICER DARRELL HOLLOWAY BOY SHOT AND KILLED HALLOWEEN IN 2015 WHILE THE OFFICER WAS TRANS. HIM TO JAIL ON DOMESTIC CHARGES, BUT BOYCE WAS NOT PROPERLY PADDED DOWN AND WAS ABLE TO CONCEAL A GUN IN HIS PANTS NOW LAWYERS FOR POLICE OFFICERS. SAY THE DA’S BEHAVIOR IS OUT OF BOUNDS.

ERIC HESSLER SAYS HOLLOWAY’S FAMILY WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT ANY OF THIS. JUST ANOTHER UNUSUAL TWIST IN THIS STORY. BACK IN 2017 BOYS ATE HIS OWN FECES INSIDE THE COURTROOM BEFORE POTENTIAL JURORS. PROSECUTORS CALLED A STUNT BUT A MISTRIAL WAS DECLARED. THEN IN 2018 BOYS WAS CONVICTED THE VERDICT WAS 12-0 AND THE JURY DELIBERATED FOR LESS THAN AN HOUR.
