Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana’s Republican-controlled Legislature approved a constitutional amendment on Friday that would allow them to expand the number of crimes in which juveniles between 14 and 16 years old could be tried as adults. The state’s constitution currently outlines 15 violent juvenile offenses, such as rape, murder and armed robbery, which prosecutors can handle in adult courts. Any changes to that list of crimes must be approved by voters. But the constitutional amendment sponsored by Republican Sen. Heather Cloud — which require voter approval in March 29 elections to take effect — would allow legislators the power by a two-thirds vote to decide what juvenile crimes can be transferred to adult courts. It’s part of a wider push in Louisiana, which already has the second-highest incarceration rate in the country behind Mississippi, to implement tough-on-crime policies under Republican Gov. Jeff Landry. Since taking office in January, Landry has passed laws to treat 17-year-olds as adults in the criminal justice system, largely eliminate parole and allow surgical castration as punishment for certain sex crimes against children. Supporters of the measure to make it easier to expand prosecution of juveniles as adults — backed only by Republican legislators — say it will grant lawmakers more flexibility to give prosecutors the tools they need to increase public safety. Vesting authority in the constitution “has hamstringed Louisiana from being able to address changes in an ever-changing juvenile crime landscape,” Cloud said on the Senate floor on Nov. 14. Opponents, including Democrats, social workers and criminal justice reform advocates, said specific offenses routing juveniles to adult courts should remain part of the constitution to keep this power in the hands of voters. “We’re taking the people’s voice away over how children should be treated in this state,” Democratic Sen. Katrina Jackson-Andrews said. Critics also argue the changes fail to confront the root causes of juvenile crime, namely poverty and underinvestment in education. Transferring juveniles into adult court would also prevent them from accessing age-appropriate rehabilitative services, criminal justice reform advocates and social workers testified during the legislative session. “I can view this in no other way than just giving up on children,” Democratic Sen. Royce Duplessis said on the Senate floor. “We’re going to say we’re just going to treat them all as adults, and we’re not going to do our part as a society, as policymakers, to address what’s really failing — this is not going to do a single thing to deter crime.” Some lawmakers said that juveniles committing violent crimes had been deprived of care from a young age and were past the point of rehabilitation, blaming their families as opposed to societal factors. “Some of these kids are already lost when they’re 2 years old,” said Republican Rep. Tony Bacala in a House committee hearing. Unless they are transferred to an adult court, young people tried in juvenile court can only be imprisoned until age 21 according to state law. The effect of the proposed constitutional change will be to open the door for Republican lawmakers to give prosecutors the power to hand down lengthy prison sentences to 14- to 16-year-olds, including for less severe crimes, said Bruce Reilly, deputy director of the Louisiana-based criminal justice reform advocacy group Voice of the Experienced. The Louisiana District Attorneys Association and the Louisiana Sheriffs’ Association said they supported the measure. But New Orleans Sheriff Susan Hutson said she was concerned the measure would “almost certainly further strain our already short staff” in the jail system. Federal law still considers 17-year-olds and younger as juveniles and requires them to be kept separate from adult inmates. District Attorney Tony Clayton, who represents West Baton Rouge and two other parishes, said he would not try a juvenile as an adult for having “marijuana in his wallet,” but for violent crimes. Violent crimes are on the decline nationwide according to the latest data from FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting. Since mid-2023, most violent crime has also been down in New Orleans, which in 2022 had the highest homicide rate among large cities nationwide.

Jeff Landry’s decision to send state troops to New Orleans. Lawmakers supporting the amendment have focused on high-profile violent crimes by juveniles, such as a deadly New Orleans carjacking case committed by teenagers — who were charged as adults — in which an elderly woman was beaten and dragged to her death. Louisiana is one of five states that classifies 17-year-olds as adults in the criminal justice system, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. _____ Brook is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

MongoDB Announces Expansion of the MongoDB AI Applications ProgramRandy Moss is a cancer survivor. The Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver announced via Instagram on Friday that he recently underwent surgery in Charlotte, North Carolina. Moss, who was in the hospital for nearly a week, is receiving treatment for cancer that was found outside his bile duct between his pancreas and liver. During the video, Moss thanked his doctors, nurses and other medical staff members who have helped him during his cancer battle. Moss, who said he will now undergo chemotherapy and radiation, also thanked his family and "prayer warriors" for their support. "Your boy is a cancer survivor," Moss said. "I'm nursing myself back. I'm here with my family, and I can't wait to bust some of y'all heads on 'Call of Duty' or 'NBA 2K'." Moss said he underwent an initial procedure on Thanksgiving to put a stent in his liver after experiencing urine discoloration. That procedure confirmed his cancer diagnosis. Shortly thereafter, Moss announced that he was stepping away from his duties as an NFL analyst for ESPN in order to deal with an "internal" medical issue. Moss' announcement came days after he addressed his medical situation on "Sunday NFL Countdown." Moss said that he had a Whipple Procedure six days ago that lasted roughly six hours. He was released from the hospital earlier today. "It was a trying week, some trying times," Moss said. "So once again, I thank you all. ... I felt all the prayers coming through there. Man, I really did, all the prayer warriors coming through there at the time. You know, I was looking at my social media while I was in the hospital. Didn't have much to look at other than TV and my cellphone. Didn't do a lot of tweeting, but you prayer warriors, all my teammates, you know, I just don't want to name no names, but I saw everything you guys tweeted at me, all the prayers, the well wishes. I really felt that my family felt that." Moss also announced the launching of his new website , with all proceeds from his "Team Moss" gear going to cancer research. A 2018 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, Moss is widely considered to be one of the greatest receivers in NFL history. He led the NFL in touchdown catches a whopping five times. He did so as a rookie by snagging a rookie-record 17 touchdowns while helping the Vikings get to within a game of the Super Bowl. A little over a decade later, Moss caught a single-season-record 23 touchdowns while helping the Patriots become the only team to go undefeated during a 16-game regular season. Nicknamed "The Freak" because of his otherworldly talent, Moss was one of the best deep threats the game has even seen. He also had impeccable hands and was a threat to score every time he had the ball. All three of those facets were on display on Thanksgiving Day in 1998, when Moss delivered one of the most iconic performances (and stat lines) in NFL history. Moss caught three passes for 163 yards and three touchdowns in Minnesota's win over Dallas. 163 yards and 3 TD 👀 Vikings rookie WR Randy Moss roasted the Cowboys defense on Thanksgiving Day, 1998. (via @nflthrowback) https://t.co/AUisnVSxCo Moss was also an immensely popular player. That was on display this past summer during Tom Brady's Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony, when Moss was brought to tears after receiving a lengthy thunderous ovation from Patriots fans who were in attendance. All love for @RandyMoss 🥹 pic.twitter.com/8XTi1YYTnW Not many players leave a lasting impact after their careers are over. Moss certainly did, and now, spreading cancer awareness will also be part of his legacy.

Maharashtra Assembly Election Result: Will Karjat Jamkhed choose change?A new luxury movie chain is moving into The Village at San Antonio Center in Mountain View, taking over the site of the ShowPlace Icon theater that abruptly closed earlier this year. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, an Austin-based company, plans to have the theater ready for movie-goers next summer, with premium viewing technology and top-notch amenities. But it is not the only new business that is coming to the high-end shopping center at 645 San Antonio Road. Brookfield Properties, the principal real-estate holder, has landed several other tenants as well, filling 90,000 square feet of commercial space, according to a recent press release. “We’re really trying to introduce a diverse array of services and retailers,” said Cutter MacLeod, vice president of asset management at Brookfield Properties. MacLeod rattled off a list of new tenants at San Antonio Center that includes an automotive showroom and dealership, educational learning center, pet nutrition and grooming store, a pizzeria, a burger joint and a specialty skincare provider. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is the flagship, however. “It’s a unique offering,” MacLeod said, describing it as a key piece in a dynamic urban setting where people can live, work and enjoy recreational activities all in one spot. This vision was partially realized with the ShowPlace Icon movie theater, which opened in 2018. At the time, it was under a lease with the original developer, Merlone Geier, which was building San Antonio Center as a multi-phased, mixed-use development. In 2021, Brookfield Properties came onto the scene and purchased several holdings. Initially, what got the company excited about the site was the large office component, MacLeod said. But then it saw a lot of multifamily apartments popping up, creating opportunities for foot traffic not just from office workers but also people living nearby, he said. As part of the site acquisition, Brookfield Properties took over the lease for ShowPlace Icon, a movie chain operated by Kerasotes Theatres. Then earlier this year, Kerasotes Theatres went out of business and sold off or closed all of its locations, including the one in Mountain View. Not wanting to lose the cinema experience, Brookfield Properties quickly shifted gears to find a replacement. “It was important to try and keep some continuity at the property for the community because we know that this is one of the local favorite theaters. It’s new and nice, and so it was important to us to keep that activated,” MacLeod said. Brookfield Properties ultimately selected Alamo Drafthouse Cinema to fill the spot. It has a lot of differentiated offerings, MacLeod said, referring to the cinema’s reputation for having a wide selection of movies, along with thematic events like retro movie nights. It also has great food and beverage services, MacLeod said. Before opening to the public, Alamo plans on doing some renovations to the theater, even though it’s relatively new. This includes putting in 1,100 luxury recliners and “rejiggering” some of the interior spaces to align more closely with the Alamo brand, MacLeod said. Alamo also has signed onto a long-term lease. “They’re committed to the property, and we are as well. So, they’ll be here for the long haul,” MacLeod said. A handful of new tenants will also be coming to The Village at San Antonio Center next year, MacLeod said. He declined to divulge specific details about it, other than saying there would be some food operators and a fitness center. “There were some slow periods but really over the last 18 to 24 months, and especially the last 12 months, we’ve just had a sharp uptick in interest,” MacLeod said.
