So am I. I would hate to think of going through that again. But, strange things happen. Irregardless of BSL's voluntary confession, who knows how the 'right' judge might rule on his claim of ineffective and deficient counsel representation? He claims his attorneys abandoned him and allowed him...

Hopefully, the current predicament in which the DA's office finds itself won't come into play in any appeal. Within the last year, one ADA has been convicted of tax evasion, one ADA, one administrator and one secretary has admitted guilt in an illegal DWI suspension payoff operation and are...

The Advertiser website has a little more written info.

BTW, as I recall, the testimony of Lisa's co-workers was that she left the bar with BSL with no mention of 8Ball.

The testimony of the cellmate (KK) implied it was usual for inmates to compare crimes as new cellmates. KK also implied that it was usual for inmates to embellish crimes particularly when incarceration is a result of sex crimes which are not received well by other inmates. KK apparently was...

What is the cross there? Looks like old concrete cross that has mildewed and turned black...... I think I need to drive to Reddell.

Went by the MS "Ghost Bike" Memorial today. Shocked at how close it was to Dean St. Does LE have evidence or reason to believe MS has hit at THAT location? I assumed it was much further down, closer to Blackham. The road between Dean and Coliseum is relatively long, at least 500'. The Memorial...

jkg005, in addition to Foxfire's post, The Independent reported the day after the plea agreement: Though Lavergne was initially uncooperative with officials, Stutes says the "bombshell of a double indictment" likely weighed heavily on his decision to cooperate. "He hit the wall at some point"...

Unknown among this data set of exonerated inmates is when were they convicted. Many of the 80 or current La death row inmates were convicted and sentenced prior to the advent of modern DNA testing. Now DNA is commonly used as much as an exculpatory tool as one for determining guilt. As I...

Cane is perennial. Mature cane is harvested by cutting stalks a few inches above ground, leaving roots to regrow. However, cane must be replanted at regular intervals after rotation. In replanting, fields are chopped level, rows are formed and seed cane is planted in furrows in rows. New...

Apparently, the condemnation came as a result of a CONFESSION.....

I suspect surface DNA would have deteriorated or been contaminated. They may have done DNA for identification purposes.

Yes, I agree with your ping theory,......its just that he would have passed 'in the vicinity' of numerous cane fields between USL and his home. As for the increased risks, I doubt that someone under attack, who thinks he is facing critical, fatal injury uses logic to assess risks. None of us...

I don't recall those Stutes comment either. All I recall is him stating there were at least 3 former BSL cellmates willing to testify as to BSLs description of LPs murder to them. Don't recall stating any other evidence. Its amazing how little we know about LPs murder. The 2008 grand jury...

Your assumption may be correct, but we will probably never know. BTW, the search of the property took place before the pleas agreement was negotiated. If dogs had hit on blood residue under the trailer, Stutes would have known that prior to accepting BSLs version of what happened. As for...

I never believed the cane field story. IMO, he shot MS before he left the university complex, somewhere between Blackham and the Cajundome, perhaps around the Advertiser site. He then went straight home to lick his wounds and bandage his hand. He then drove to Pinesclair to dump and cover her...

I would eliminate the word 'either' and replace the word 'or' with 'and' in your sentence. IMO, it is not unreasonable to think that 'sealing' records is a CYA agreed to strategy across several jurisdictions in the LE and judicial branches. We have become aware of numerous questionable...

Couldn't he have done this at a carwash for 75cents? There are carwashes on every corner, even in isolated rural areas.

This is not a cost issue for me. I'd be willing for the State to incur those costs of pursuing DP. ($23,000/ inflated over 40 years would probably easily equal 2-3 times that $1,000,000 anyway). Having said that, I fully understand the Shunick's desire to negotiate for the body. I'm sure I...

LE had the good fortune of BSL's misfortune...picking the wrong victim. Mickey's fight and the hurt she put on BSL drove him to do things he never anticipated having to do. Plus, her family and friends and an entire global circle of support would not let this crime sit idle the way Lisa's did. I...
