Some plaintiffs sued Eddie Jordan directly. Not sure what happened to the case but I do know he tried to claim bankruptcy and a judge denied him.
This is actually one of the more curious aspects of the case. The plaintiffs alleged that Jordan acted outside of the course and scope of his employment by firing the white employees and replacing them uniformly with blacks. The jury found that although, Jordan discriminated against the white employees, he was not acting outside the course and scope of his employment. Thus he is not personally liable for the jury verdict.
I found this odd because Jordan's drop is to prosecute criminals in Orleans Parish, not to systemtically replace white employees with black ones.
As practical matter, the money now has to come from the Parish DA's office treasury, which is pretty much underfunded anyhow and now makes it more difficult for Jordan to actually do his job. Not that he has done a great job of it, regardless.
