A judge's compassion for an offender's family circumstances, you know, has consequences for the victim's family too.
Louis R. AvalloneHOST
So Louisiana Constitution currently allows post-conviction bail under rules tied to sentencing, right? As I was pointing out.
Louis R. AvalloneHOST
And so the question is, you know, once a defendant has been convicted of a aggravated offense against a child, continued custody is a reasonable protection, you know, while the legal process runs its course.
Louis R. AvalloneHOST
And what this constitutional amendment would change is the eligibility for bail after conviction.
Newell NormandHOST
That's always... [laughs] Yeah.
Newell NormandHOST
That's something that we question, is the, how many more? And how many more times do we do this, and how much more complex do we wanna make the Louisiana Constitution?
Steven ProcopioGUEST

Steven ProcopioGUEST
That's the questions we gotta figure out.
27 MINS LATER
Steven ProcopioGUEST

Steven ProcopioGUEST
It's, it's a fairly limited amendment i- in the sense of what it will do.
Steven ProcopioGUEST
Um, however, if, if you're particularly concerned about, you know, foreign adversaries, you know, using the power essentially of the Louisiana Constitution to, uh, gain access to sewage plants, uh, then that's something you- you're, you're, um, probably gonna support.
Newell NormandHOST
All right, let's get to a break, uh, now, and when we come back, we'll finish up with amendment number nine and amendment number ten.
Newell NormandHOST
Absolutely, and, uh, we're adding to the number of amendments.
Newell NormandHOST
That's always [laughs] yeah, that's something that we question, is the, how many more? And how many more times do we do this, and how much more complex do we wanna make the Louisiana Constitution?
Steven ProcopioGUEST
Yeah, that's the questions we gotta figure out.
Steven ProcopioGUEST
You know, so we've had 330 proposed constitutional amendments, actually going to 340 if you count these 10.
27 MINS LATER
Steven ProcopioGUEST
So if you had a company that was owned by one of these, uh, uh, groups, then you could not expropriate property in the state of Louisiana.
Steven ProcopioGUEST
So that is, it's, it's a fairly limited amendment i, in the sense of what it will do.
Steven ProcopioGUEST
Um, however, if, if you're particularly concerned about, you know, foreign adversaries, you know, using the power essentially of the Louisiana Constitution to, uh, gain access to sewage plants, uh, then that's something you, you're, you're, um, probably gonna support.
Newell NormandHOST

Danielle WalkerHOST
Uh, Walter says, "Why are we talking about this? It's against the...
Danielle WalkerHOST
Is it against the Louisiana Constitution or the US Constitution?" I guess I'm not sure what part of it you are talking about, Walter, but definitely it is against the Louisiana Constitution to not have auditable, uh, elections, right? Again, not be able to count the ballots p- publicly.
Danielle WalkerHOST
Bert and, and Dr. Russ have been saying that for a long time.
Chris AlexanderHOST

Danielle WalkerHOST

Chris AlexanderHOST
...
Chris AlexanderHOST
it directly, our current system directly violates the Louisiana Constitution, no question about it.
Chris AlexanderHOST
And unless even with this new system that has this paper component, unless the votes are counted publicly at that point going forward, then our system will continue to violate the Louisiana Constitution, just with regard to the public counting requirement of the Constitution.
Mary Patricia WrayGUEST
Yeah.
Mary Patricia WrayGUEST
Um, about, uh, eight, eight or so years teaching the Louisiana Constitution, legislative drafting, administrative rule making, um, a class I took in law school and thought, "I'm, I'm not gonna stick around here.
Mary Patricia WrayGUEST
I'll never use any of this stuff," and, um, you know, now, now it's pretty much, uh, how I make a living.
Jim EngsterHOST
Okay.
