GET JUSTICE FOR LINDA AND IN SPIRIT, JUSTICE FOR ALL VICTIMS. THE EVIDENCE AND CRIMINALS FOR THIS CASE WILL ALWAYS BE THE SAME AND WILL NOT CHANGE. THE TRIAL WAS EXPECTED TO START THIS MONTH. THAT CHANGED AFTER A JUDGE CAME HERE AT HOME, SAID THE STATE GOT 11 MONTHS TO TEST THE DNA. SHE SAID THE DEFENSE SHOULD ALSO GET THAT AMOUNT OF TIME. THE NEW DOCUMENT IS FROM THE FOURTH CIRCUIT. SAY JUDGE HOLMES DID NOT ABUSE HER DISCRETION WHEN SHE RESET THAT TRIAL DATE. ACCORDING TO THE NEW RECORDS, ONE OF THESE SUSPECTS, LENORA THEOPHILE, IS CURRENTLY INCOMPETENT TO STAND TRIAL. IF HER COMPETENCY IS RESTORED AND SHE WOULD BE GIVEN ENOUGH TIME TO BE TRIED WITH THE OTHER THREE SUSPECTS. SO THE FOUR TEENS, THEY ARE ACCUSED OF RICKY’S MURDER. THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT GUILTY. THEY ARE CHARGED AS ADULTS AND COULD FACE LIFE IN PRISON IF CONVICTED. BACK TO YOU. AUBREY, THANK YOU. A MOTHER GUNNED DOWN IN FRONT OF HER YOUNG AND TODDLER TODAY. THIS HAPPENED IN TREMAINE.

POLICE SAY THAT HE WAS NOT INJURED. HE WAS PICKED UP BY FAMILY MEMBERS. THE WOMAN WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE SHE LATER DIED. C CHARLES PARISH AND FEMA NOW FACING OFF IN A LAWSUIT. THIS COMES AFTER SAINT CHARLES PARISH SAYS FEMA REFUSED TO SHARE ITS RISK. RIDING 2.0 MODEL AMID WHAT THEY CALL ASTRONOMICAL RATES. WDSU REPORTER ARIELLE BRUMFIELD IS LIVE IN SAINT CHARLES WITH THE DETAILS OF THIS LEGAL ACTION. AERIAL. WELL, THE PAIR SAYS THEY’VE SPENT MILLIONS BEEFING UP THEIR FLOOD PROTECTION. AND THEY SAY THEY’RE PROTECTED NOW MORE THAN EVER. SO THEY’RE WONDERING WHY EXACTLY DO THESE FLOOD INSURANCE RATES CONTINUOUSLY GO UP? THERE’S FLOOD INSURANCE RATES. JUST MIGHT BE THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN FOR MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM AND AMERICAN DREAM. WHEN THESE RATES BECOME UNAFFORDABLE. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE FORCED TO SELL THEIR HOME OR DROP THEIR FLOOD INSURANCE GETTING FLUSHED AWAY. THIS IS THE ONLY, ONLY REMEDY. MATT JEWEL, PRESIDENT OF SAINT CHARLES PARISH, SAYS IT’S TIME TO HOLD FEMA’S FEET TO THE FIRE. AND BY DOING SO, ANNOUNCED TUESDAY, THE PARISH IS SUING FEMA FOR REFUSING TO PROVIDE PUBLIC RECORDS ON ITS RISK MODEL USED TO DETERMINE FLOOD PREMIUMS IN THE PARISH. IN CENTRAL’S PARISH. IN GENERAL, WE’RE LOOKING AT AN AVERAGE OF ABOUT OVER 200% INCREASE IN PEOPLE’S FLOOD INSURANCE PREMIUMS IN SOME AREAS OF THE PARISH. WE’VE SEEN NUMBERS AS HIGH AS. 752% INCREASE, I ANTICIPATE IN THE FUTURE THAT WE’RE GOING TO SEE SOME PEOPLE IN PARISHES LIKE SAINT CHARLES SPEAKING WITH THEIR FEET AND MOVING TO PLACES WHERE THE RISK ARE LOWER IN THE PREMIUMS, THE LOWER BRASS JAILS AND INSURANCE CONSULTANT SAYS THIS YEAR, FLOOD INSURANCE PRICES ARE HITTING ASTRONOMIC GOAL HIKES, FORCING PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR POLICIES AND EVEN OUT OF THEIR HOME. THIS NFP, THE NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM, HAS JUST RAISED THEIR ANTICIPATE IT AVERAGE RATE INCREASES FOR LOUISIANA RESIDENTS FROM 122% TO 134%. AND I CAN ALREADY TELL YOU, AS THE PERSON WHO REVIEWS POLICIES WHEN THEY COME UP FOR RENEWAL IN OUR AGENCY, THAT OUR WE’VE SEEN A MARKED INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE BASICALLY DROPPING THEIR FLOOD POLICIES. HE SAYS EXISTING POLICIES WITH LOW PREMIUMS WILL CONTINUE TO RISE AT AN 18% RATE AND HOMEOWNERS LOOKING TO GET A NEW FLOOD POLICY WILL SEE PREMIUMS STARTING AT 2 TO 3000 AND HIGHER. JOE SAYS THE PARISH IS REQUIRING TRANSPARENCY FROM FEMA SO THEY CAN KNOW WHERE THE RISKS LIE AND ENSURE THE RISK MODEL BEING USED IS ACCURATE. WE WANT TO WORK TO MITIGATE REAL RISKS HERE ON THE GROUND TO PROTECT LIVES AND PROPERTY. AND WE WANT TO HAVE SOME AFFORDABILITY. AND DUAL TELLS ME THE PARISH HAS INVESTED ABOUT $75 MILLION INTO THEIR FLOOD PROTECTION AS WELL AS BEEFING UP THEIR LEVEE SYSTEM. REPORTING FROM SAINT CHARLES PARISH, MARIO BRUMFIELD, WDSU NEWS.
