Coroner's Inquest -- demand one for the victims

[DELUSIONAL]

I don't know the laws of Louisiana but I do know that Coroner's Inquests are held in many places throughout the world.

It would seem that a Coroner could call witnesses and hold hearings into the deaths in New Orleans. In fact if there are Coroners in other jurisdictions they should also look into the deaths.

Inquests are still held into deaths -- and in some places the relatives can demand an inquest.

So the GOPigs are trying to block a real investigation of what went wrong -- but coroners inquests can look at cause of death with the the large numbers I believe we will be hearing -- some of the family should be able to demand a formal inquest into their relatives deaths.
