Leon Cannizzaro has given five years of his life to the service of two AGs and our State at the DOJ. I am enormously grateful for his leadership and his service. I want to especially recognize his contribution in standing up an expanded office of experienced and dedicated prosecutors in New Orleans to support Troop NOLA, which has contributed greatly to lowering crime in New Orleans and ensuring those who commit crimes there are held accountable. After decades in public service as a prosecutor, DA, and judge, he has earned some downtime with his family. But you can’t keep a good man down so I expect Leon will continue to contribute his time and knowledge to our State in the future.
