New Orleans prosecutors secured a murder indictment against a man 10 days after he died in his sleep, the Associated Press reports. An attorney for the late Steven Burns Jr. said that his client’s indictment was troubling for the man’s grieving family. Burns was accused of killing a man working as a DEA informant in 2011. A spokesman for the District Attorney’s office said that prosecutors weren’t notified of Burns’ death prior to the indictment.
