Ciolino discusses the possibility of the death penalty for Daniel Callihan

Callihan’s charges in all three jurisdictions – Louisiana, Mississippi and federal, could result in the death penalty. But Loyola Law professor Dane Ciolino, says it’s unclear if federal authorities will go that route.

“It’s a very difficult process,” Ciolino said. “It’s got to go through the capital crimes committee the attorney general himself has to sign off on seeking the death penalty.”
