Motions Seek To Quash Indictments On Howard
A wave of 31 motions seeks to quash indictments for theft and fraud against former Monroe mayor W L Howard, finance commissioner J L W McSherry and son, and former sanitation head Arthur Barker. Ten Bills of Particulars ask the district attorney to specify facts, focusing on jury selection and alleged exclusion of women from juries. The defense argues unconstitutional jury rules and improper application in Ouachita Parish, plus questions about grand jury vacancy and an unauthorized observer during deliberations.
