BATON ROUGE, La (LOCAL 33) (FOX 44) – Families want answers and Attorney General Jeff Landry is determined to get them.

This week, Landry is partnering with the Louisiana House Administration of Criminal Justice Committee under Committee Chairman Sherman Q. Mack to hold a full hearing on why the State of Louisiana has delayed justice for family members of victims whose killers are still sitting on death row.

Louisiana conducted its last execution in the year 2010, nearly a decade ago. Last year Governor John Bel Edwards legal counsel for the Department of Corrections filed motions in federal court voluntarily agreeing to stay, and delay again, all executions for yet another year.

Witnesses will discuss the issue in front of Members of the Administration of Criminal Justice Committee.

The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, March 12 at 9 a.m. at the Louisiana State Capitol, House Committee Room 6.

According to the states’ history, there has only been a total of 28 executions with the first one being in 1983.
