Making the rounds

Trial Attorneys for the United States Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division Seth Wayne (left) and Charles W. Hart, Jr. (right) address a crowd of about 30 individuals at the Ville Platte Northside Civic Center on Sunday. The DOJ representatives also met with the Ville Platte Police Department and the Evangeline Parish Sheriff’s Office later in the week to hear how the DOJ’s findings regarding practices used at the two departments are being remedied.
