Laura Rodrigue on Louisiana’s Staged Crash Scandal

Moon Griffon welcomes former New Orleans prosecutor Laura Rodrigue to discuss Louisiana’s second consecutive last-place ranking in U.S. News' state rankings, with a focus on crime, corruption, and the ongoing staged-accident scandal. Rodrigue details the convictions of attorneys involved in orchestrating fraudulent 18-wheeler crashes, the upcoming murder trial of a lawyer accused of arranging the killing of a federal witness, and growing calls for accountability for doctors, chiropractors, and others who allegedly enabled the scheme. The conversation also explores how the fraud has fueled rising insurance costs and damaged public trust in Louisiana’s legal system.
