Politicians push to remove elected position won by exonerated man

 The GOP-controlled Louisiana Legislature is intent on eliminating the judicial office of a recently elected Black man who was imprisoned for nearly 30 years before being exonerated. 

Calvin Duncan won 68 percent of the vote last November to become the Orleans Parish clerk of criminal court after pledging to reform the justice system, his campaign based on his own experience of battling with the courts to obtain records while in prison, AP reported.
