NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A panel of three federal appellate judges has ruled that a Louisiana law requiring the Ten Commandments to be posted in each of the state’s public school classrooms is unconstitutional. The ruling Friday marked a major win for civil liberties groups who say the mandate violates the separation of church and state, and that the poster-sized displays would isolate students — especially those who are not Christian. kAm%96 >2?52E6 92D 366?

ABORTION: Once again, Louisiana lawmakers voted against a bill that would add rape to the narrow list of exceptions to the state's abortion ban. The measure specifically would have only applied to girls younger than 17. https://t.co/OIMzwUy2iB

NOLA JAILBREAK: A maintenance worker was arrested for his role in Friday's group jailbreak. The employee said an inmate threatened to "shank" him if he didn't turn off the water to a toilet, which covered a hole that the 10 escapees squeezed through. https://t.co/0C35DJSII1

Seven of the 10 men, who broke out of a New Orleans jail on Friday, are still on the lam. The local sheriff says faulty locks, that she's long complained about, were a key factor in the jailbreak. Others say the sheriff is to blame in security lapses. https://t.co/FfoZQfHNRx
