The victim, killed in 2012, was a local celebrity of sorts in New Orleans. But the trial of his accused killer was stopped after a court employee spoke up to say there was a video of the murder. But where is that video? No one knows yet.

Robert Siegel talks with Mike Pesca about Friday's ruling that went against the NFL in the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal. An arbitration panel overturned the league's suspension of four players, while leaving the suspension of coaches intact.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Isaac, Weekend Edition Sunday guest host Linda Wertheimer talks with Mark Schleifstein — an environment reporter for The Times-Picayune — about storm preparations, the improved levee system and the potential for drought relief.

Hurricane Isacc made landfall in Louisiana Tuesday night, and is battering the Gulf Coast with high winds and a lot of rain. The storm is moving very slowly, and New Orleans has yet to see the worst of the winds.

Nearly a third of the homes in Louisiana are without power, even as a downgraded Isaac, now a tropical storm, continued to cause damage.

Hurricane Isaac came ashore Tuesday night in southern Louisiana. But it's such a massive and slow-moving storm, that rain is expected to keep falling — perhaps through Thursday. That's of particular concern in New Orleans.

Steve Inskeep talks to Billy Nungesser, president of Plaquemines Parish, about how Hurricane Isaac is impacting his community. Nungesser says the storm that hit his parish in southeast Louisiana was "no Category 1" hurricane.

As Isaac comes ashore in Louisiana, its unrelenting winds and rains are punishing the parishes closest to the Gulf of Mexico. During Hurricane Katrina, Saint Bernard and Plaquemines were particularly hard hit.

The system is designed to withstand a storm this size, but this will be its first test since its previous incarnation was devastated by Katrina.

It's been seven years since Katrina and the failure of the city's levee system. It's been rebuilt at a cost of billions, but the job isn't quite finished.
