The DA overreached with that in Jena, too. I think it's difficult to make the case that soft athletic shoes are weapons. This campus is crawling with weapons-carrrying people, if so. If a weapon was involved, then it would go beyond second-degree battery and become aggravated battery, which no one has mentioned.
That's assuming athletic shoes were worn and not dress shoes... Either way, "shoes as weapons" is a silly concept, IMO. Our legal system is going to go down the road that makes EVERY item a "weapon". Your honor, Exhibit A: Sheet of white copy paper the defendant used as a weapon to paper cut my client in an attempt to end life.
Arrest warrant is out on JJ Arrest warrants issued for Jefferson, Johns | Home | The Advocate — Baton Rouge, LA
Just when I was starting to get my appetite back! They must have some hard evidence that leads them to this arrest. I can't see them doing it otherwise. I really feel for JJ - still hoping it will be disproved.
Are you kidding? Have you kept up with this circus at all this week? These guys have no idea what they're doing. Should be pretty obvious to all by now why BTR's become such a dangerous city to live in.

If the DA is not going to bring charges, waiting for the grand jury to do so... Then why were warrants issued? Doesn't that mean charges have been filed? Me thinks someone is a moron...
