Pryor in the race for Caddo Juvenile Court Section 1C judge. Stone gained 51 percent of votes to attorney Pryor's 49 percent, according to complete but unofficial returns Saturday.

She has practiced law in Shreveport for 15 years, primarily in the areas of family and children's law. Read more. If link has expired, check the website of the article's original news source. |
