STORY: "Juan Smith, former death row inmate freed by Supreme Court, ordered back to jail," by reporter John Simerman, published in the Times-Picayune on July 2, 2012.
GIST: "The Louisiana Supreme Court has ordered former death row inmate Juan Smith returned to the Orleans Parish jail, over the objections of state corrections officials and Orleans Parish Sheriff Marlin Gusman, who argued that conditions in the jail aren't safe enough. Smith, 37, was on death row for 16 years for the murders of Tangie Thompson, her boyfriend Andre White and her 3-year-old child in their home on Morrison Road in eastern New Orleans in 1995."
