Dirty Politics? Exonerated Man Wins Election But La. Governor Won’t Let Him Serve
About this episode
Calvin Duncan, an exonerated man, fights to assume the office he was elected to after Louisiana's governor abolishes the role.
Calvin Duncan has filed a civil rights lawsuit to fight state lawmakers who just eliminated the office he was elected to last year. Duncan was set to take office as criminal court clerk of New Orleans on Monday, when Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry signed a law this week, abolishing the role. Duncan was freed after spending 28 years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit, earned his law degree at 60 and is now fighting to assume the office he was legally elected to on Monday.
