Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill has been indicted by an Orleans Parish grand jury on 16 felony counts tied to a letter she sent to several Orleans Parish leaders after lawmakers passed a bill combining the Orleans Parish courts.

The grand jury met on July 2 and reviewed evidence from special prosecutor Laurie White. Jurors returned a true bill, which means they found probable cause for the charges to move forward.

The indictment includes eight counts of public intimidation and eight counts of malfeasance in office.

The public intimidation counts fall under Louisiana Revised Statute 14:122. The law generally bars threats, intimidation or pressure meant to influence how a public official does their job.
