NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Prosecutors investigating a police shooting that occurred days after Hurricane Katrina created a "mess" by compelling three officers to testify before the grand jury that later indicted them, a judge presiding over the case said Friday.
Judge Raymond Bigelow pressed Assistant District Attorney Dustin Davis to explain why prosecutors compelled Sgt. Kenneth Bowen and Officers Ignatius Hills and Mike Hunter Jr. to testify.
Attorneys for the three want Bigelow to order prosecutors to turn over transcripts of the grand jury proceedings, and want charges against their clients dismissed.
