Louisiana attorney general ouster prompts indictments to become information
District Attorney Dewey J. Sanchez announced he would replace all indictments from the East Baton Rouge parish grand jury with bills of information for the same charges. The move follows the ouster of David M. Ellison by Governor Earl K Long amid questions of legality, with motions to quash indictments against Dr. James Monroe Smith and George Caldwell. Sanchez said informatives would cover forgery and embezzlement counts, and other grand jury investigations would be revealed similarly.
