The Caddo Parish Commission adopted the resolution that would put in place a process that asks for an outside review when someone dies at a parish-owned facility or property.
Following Caddo Parish Commissioner John Atkin’s attempt to table the legislation (five in favor, six against, and one absent), the resolution passed seven in favor, four against, and one absent.
Caddo Parish Commissioner Steven Jackson sponsored the legislation after it came to light that Casey Louis Simpson Jr., died March 16 while in Caddo Correctional Center custody.
