NEW ORLEANS – Each lawyer had 30 minutes to present their case to the State Supreme Court in New Orleans and then the seven State Supreme Court judges went behind doors and deliberated.

Abbeville attorney Anthony Fontana represented Abbeville Councilman Francis Touchet. Lafayette attorney Bradford Felder represented Ernal “EJ” Broussard.

At press-time, the State Supreme Court had not ruled. If they rule Broussard can run for the District B council seat, the election will be held March 27.
