New Orleans' district attorney on Monday ordered his office's civil rights division to review all cases prosecuted by a one-time assistant district attorney who is now a judge on unpaid leave after a video with racist language recorded at her home surfaced
The division will review all cases prosecuted by Michelle M. Odinet when she worked in Louisiana's most populous city, District Attorney Jason Williams said. Her tenure began part-time in June 1991, and she became a full-time assistant district attorney in November 1993, the office's chief administrative officer, Tyronne Walker, told CNN, citing what he called incomplete personnel records.
""Go and get the gun," says another voice."It's important, very important," says a male voice as the video continues.Odinet feels"humiliated, embarrassed, and sorry for what she has done and the harm she has caused to the community" and is taking unpaid leave, her lawyer told the Acadiana Advocate last week.
