Former state troopers John Peters and Dakota DeMoss no longer will face obstruction of justice charges in the case, Third Judicial District Court Judge Thomas W. Rogers ruled in court documents filed Monday. Greene, 49, died in May 2019 after a confrontation in which police said Greene was resisting arrest and struggling with troopers following a chase and car crash outside the city of Monroe. His family said they were initially told Greene died on impact in the crash.
John Clary, who was a Louisiana State Police lieutenant when he was indicted on one count of malfeasance in office and one count of obstruction of justice, could have the malfeasance charge quashed unless prosecutors make amendments to the charge, including providing exact moments in the video evidence that support their accusations, a court filing says.
