The state and the ACLU Foundation of Louisiana have filed an agreement in federal court that will allow a death-row inmate at Angola to practice his Catholic faith.
The ACLU, on behalf of Donald Lee Leger Jr., and the state Attorney General’s Office also filed a joint motion asking the federal District Court in Baton Rouge to dismiss Leger’s lawsuit against the state. Leger, sentenced to die in the 2001 shooting death of 35-year-old Troy Salone at his home near Franklin, claimed in his lawsuit that prison officials unfairly limited Sunday television services on death row to Baptist or Pentecostal services.
Leger, who also wounded Salone’s wife, complained he was unable nto participate in Catholic mass. Neither side admitted fault in the settlement.
