Takeaways:

Violent felonies account for over half of all felony arrests (54%) and screening decisions (51%) – both NOPD and DA’s office are prioritizing these cases

The felony conviction rate is increasing as jury trials resume, with fewer felonies ending in dismissal

Since March 7, 2022, the New Orleans District Attorney’s Office has secured guilty convictions in five jury trials – four murder cases and one rape case. We commend the DA’s office on these victories and thank all citizens who reported for jury service this month!
