Baton Rouge Louisiana News
Baton Rouge is a vibrant city! Here is some of the latest news:
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The jury found former Minneapolis police officer Kim Potter guilty of first-degree and second-degree manslaughter Thursday in the death of Daunte Wright.
Potter said she mistook her gun for her Taser when she shot and killed Wright, a Black driver, during an April traffic stop.
The jury began deliberations on Monday. During the second day of deliberations, it asked Judge Regina Chu how to proceed if jury members were having difficulty agreeing, and she instructed them to keep talking.
Potter, 49, said she meant to use her Taser on Wright rather than her gun. She is charged with first- and second-degree manslaughter. If convicted of the most serious charge, she would face a sentence of about seven years under state guidelines, though prosecutors have said they will seek more.
Prosecutor Erin Eldridge argued Monday that Potter made a “blunder of epic proportions” and did not have “a license to kill.”
Potter’s attorney Earl Gray, though, countered during closing arguments that the former Brooklyn Center officer made an honest mistake by pulling her handgun instead of her Taser and that shooting Wright wasn’t a crime.
Potter, who is white, said she meant to use her Taser on Wright rather than her gun. She is charged with first- and second-degree manslaughter. If convicted of the most serious charge, Potter, 49, would face a sentence of about seven years under state guidelines, though prosecutors have said they will seek more.
Wright’s death set off angry protests in Brooklyn Center just as nearby Minneapolis was on edge over Derek Chauvin’s trial in George Floyd’s death.
Potter, who resigned two days after Wright’s death, testified Friday that she “didn’t want to hurt anybody” and that she was “sorry it happened.”
Chu told jurors that the state doesn’t have to prove Potter tried to kill Wright.
The judge said for first-degree manslaughter, prosecutors must prove that Potter caused Wright’s death while committing the crime of reckless handling of a firearm. This means they must prove that she committed a conscious or intentional act while handling or using a firearm that creates a substantial or unjustifiable risk that she was aware of and disregarded, and that she endangered safety.
For second-degree manslaughter, prosecutors must prove she acted with culpable negligence, meaning she consciously took a chance of causing death or great bodily harm.
Recent economic studies show that U.S. consumers are still dealing with high prices, and it does not look like inflation will slow down anytime soon.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced Thursday that a key measure of US inflation rose 5.7% from November 2020 until November 2021. It was the most rapid increase in the consumer spending price index since July 1982.
Market Watch reports that prices rose 0.6% in November, less than the 0.7% increase from October. Besides volatile food and energy costs, prices rose 0.5%, unchanged from the prior month.
Though American incomes also increased last month, they didn't rise as swiftly as cost-of-living prices.
Total incomes rose by 0.4%, or $90.4 billion, and disposable incomes also increased by 0.4% last month, corresponding to $70.4 billion.
Interestingly, consumer spending outgrew both income measures, rising 0.6%, or $104.7 billion as people spent money during the holiday season.
BATON ROUGE - This year has been the deadliest on record for East Baton Rouge.
The parish reports 165 people were killed in homicides as of Dec. 22, 2021, up from 136 in 2020. At least 290 people died from drug overdoses, and that number will likely increase as toxicology tests on recent suspected overdoses are completed.
Coroner Beau Clark said the pace is overwhelming, an unrelenting stream of daily tragedy.
"It's strange for a day to go by where there's not one, which is very sad. When you think about loss of life, that's 165 deaths. That's roughly half the year," Clark said.
The coroner's office is struggling to keep up.
"From the level of the manpower required to respond and investigate those deaths, even on the financial side too-- it is not cheap to do an autopsy. It's not cheap to have toxicology run an overdose. So anytime you increase the number of homicides and the number of overdoses that require toxicology to be run, then it creates a financial burden," Clark said.
The problem is multi-faceted.
"You're in the midst of an epidemic that's been going on for 10 years in the opioid epidemic. You're also in the midst of a pandemic with COVID-19 and of course what's going on in the country as far as our criminal justice system goes," he said.
While it's easy to point the blame at elected leaders, Clark said the solution to these problems involves a much broader group.
"It also involves the community itself, the ability for the community to have some control over these types of behaviors that are taking place. At the end of the day, it's a tremendous loss of life in the community, and it's something I don't think anybody wants to see. And it's time to get ahold of that," he said.
Clark said that reducing the number of overdose deaths will require work on several fronts: getting fentanyl-contaminated drugs off the streets, arresting dealers and getting addicts into treatment.
"A lot of times people go, 'well it's a drug that killed them.' It wasn't a gun or a knife, but it's still a death at the end of the day. So the whole point of this is to prevent those untimely deaths, and so you have to really address the drug dealer, as much as you have to address the person who's committing murder," he said.

For the first time since 2000, the LSU men's basketball team finishes non-conference play with an undefeated record.
The Tigers cruise to a 95-60 victory over Lipscomb with one of their best players in Tari Eason.
LSU was fine without him, shooting 53 percent from the field, including 12 for 22 on 3 point attempts.
The Tigers were led by Darius Days who had 21 points, and 6 boards, and point guard Xavier Pinson who had 17 points and 5 assists.
LSU dominated the paint outscoring the Bison's 56-22, and in fast break points winning 21-5...
"We won, we’re 12-0, we’ve got to get a lot better heading into the SEC. We turned it over 10 times in the second half, gave up nine points and three three’s in the last four minutes to get to 60 points. I liked the way we moved the ball – six guys in double figures, would’ve been seven with (Alex) Fudge, he was right there. That was a positive. Twenty assists, that was a positive," said LSU head coach Will Wade.
LSU will not take a few days off for Christmas break then the team gets ready for SEC play and Auburn next Wednesday.
BATON ROUGE - Businesses around the capital area are feeling the effects of global supply chain issues in some major ways.
Sarah Joy Hays, who sells baked goods at Counterpace BR, says they are working to keep up with the challenges.
"It's been interesting. A lot of things we have been able to source locally throughout the pandemic, and it's just been in the past three or four months we noticed local suppliers such as restaurant depot, Costco are not carrying some products we rely on," Hays said.
The bakery faces shipping problems and issues getting all the ingredients for the pastries. The issues turn up the heat for Hays and are leaving behind a bitter taste.
"So for some time, I was driving to New Orleans to other suppliers' stores to get what we needed," Hays said.
Main ingredients like cake flour, sugar and more are impossible to find. It's the things she needs most to get her bakery running. Instead of shopping local, she instead turned to shipping.
"For example, cake flour cost has gone up about 10 times because the freight on 50 pounds of cake flour is about as much as the cake flour itself cost," Hays said.
And the cost of the goods getting shipped is higher too.
"The price of the chocolate chip has gone up 25 percent," Hays said. "Paper products have been hard to come by. Throughout the pandemic, we haven't had as much of an issue until the last three or four months."
Paper, ingredients, and all other increases mean there's not much wiggle room with the books
"And we are not going to have the same cushion this year, just because the cushion we might have had was absorbed by the cost of boxes increasing, gloves... With the pandemic, the cost of plastic gloves has gone up 18-fold," Hays said.
Hays says she hopes things can improve in the supply chain market, but until then they will eat up the cost to keep sweets on the shelves for the Holidays.
