SALTER: Hood fails to quell criticism of donations
Hood says the local district attorneys in Lafayette and Hinds are the appropriate ones to prosecute this case and that his office will assist if necessary, but that he won’t and can’t.

But admitted felons shouldn’t be able to escape state charges of trying to bribe a judge because they’re friends with or donors to the state’s attorney general.
