District Attorney Billy Joe Harrington hosted Louisiana district attorneys for the Louisiana District Attorneys Association’s Board of Directors Meeting in Natchitoches. The group discussed pertinent criminal justice issues including victims assistance programs, enhanced crime victims resources, juvenile justice, and the recent death penalty clemency hearings.
“Our organization remains focused on the fair administration of criminal justice laws in our state by providing resources for crime victims, prosecuting criminal cases, and implementing initiatives to protect citizens for crime,” said District Attorney Harrington, who serves as president of the association.
The Louisiana District Attorney’s Association is composed of the 42 elected district attorneys in the state. Their motto is “to improve Louisiana’s justice system and the office of District Attorney by enhancing the effectiveness and professionalism of Louisiana’s District Attorneys and their staffs through education, legislative involvement, liaison, and information sharing.”
