“This is a major victory for accountability — and we hope it is the beginning of the end of the state’s pattern of illegally imprisoning thousands of Louisianans at taxpayer expense,” William Most, one of the attorneys on the case, said in a statement.

Victory at trial in a long-fought free speech case!

“In a moment in which the First Amendment is under siege, a victory like this shows every government official in Louisiana that they can be held personally accountable for violating any American’s freedom of speech,” Attorney William Most, who represented the plaintiffs, wrote in a statement.

A federal judge ruled Monday that Baton Rouge officials violated the first amendment after throwing people out of an East Baton Rouge Metro Council meeting in 2017. At the time, those removed were raising questions during public comment periods about the death of Alton Sterling.

Thank you to Pro Publica for reporting on our fight to make Louisiana comply with the law and release inmates when their sentences are complete:

“I have seen no evidence suggesting the problem in Louisiana is fixed,” Most said. “And it seems unwise to dismiss any cases while that’s the situation.”

The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division had brought lawsuits accusing Louisiana of confining prisoners longer than they should and South Carolina of keeping mentally ill people in unreasonably restrictive group homes. Both cases are now on hold.
