The longest serving U.S. attorney will now become a professor at a New Orleans university. Jim Letten stepped down from three decades as a state and federal prosecutor this past December after he was unmasked as the individual ranting about federal criminal targets beneath NOLA.com news stories. He will now be teaching at Tulane University.
