But the people that those people tell.. could be.
I understand appeals are automatic in a DP case...but it would be an extra appeal if indeed the trial is not moved and should have been...
Believe it or not, there are people in Lafayette who are not following the case. People in my area-about an hour away- don't know much about the case and aren't that interested. It's that way in a lot of the state. Not everyone is wrapped up in Mickey's disappearance. Just because people hear about it doesn't mean they're prejudiced one way or the other.
I'm confused... Where are they getting all of the volunteers to search if they stopped asking for the public to help?
Please forgive if this has already been posted.

Hes liable to get the death penalty if they try the other case first. If they do, then why wouldnt he come clean, providing he actually did it and has the body somewhere.
The other case involves the death of Lisa Pate, for which Lavergne is also charged with first-degree murder. Shunick says that indictment was only a small surprise.

She worked at a place called America's Favorite Bar in Lafayette, but that was in the '80's.
That is the only time I've seen a place of employment mentioned at all.

I'm not fully caught up, so forgive if already posted, but I think she worked at Poets too.

Once, when I was called for jury duty, I tried every way I could to get out of it. Of course it wasn't a criminal case, but I still knew the defendant. He was a LEO who was accused of purposely running over a crackhead's foot. (Not exactly an episode of Real Stories Of The Highway Patrol,) but I digress. I was called and questioned and I told the plaintiff's (the crackhead) attorney that I knew the defendant and since he was a policeman, I was raised to trust them (Yeah yeah, I know they can't all be trusted, but I was trying to get out of it remember?) That attorney kept asking questions and I even got into it once with the judge...I told him something about how you can't "unring" a bell. To make a long story short, I was chosen to be on that jury and it was the plaintiff's attorney who chose me. Go figure.
How did I miss this article!!?? It was written 5 days ago??
Finally, the answer to that age old question: what is Cajun net ?

"LOL, I was called to jury duty in Pickens County, GA(good ole boy network), a few years ago, after the Meredith Hope Emerson tragedy/fiasco"..
The Honorable Judge ask if there was anyone that couldn't serve due to a hardship, etc.. I stood up and raised my hand. The Judge said to come up to the bench for privacy(side bar). I said, 'your honor, what I have to say does not require privacy"..He said OK... "I said, there is no Justice in this da.. corrupt County'.. 'He said, dismissed & we'll do the paperwork for you"..
'Still have the $35.00 check'..
Maybe not. I'm just considering Someguy's statement that BSL didn't drink. Not real common for a guy his age in south Louisiana. And if he didn't drink because it unleashed his demons, then I see it as possible that he was drinking the night Mickey went missing - due to turmoil with his love life - and of course would have less tolerance.
I'm not yet ready to conclude that he was killing people nonstop since 2008. It could have been that he got in a bad frame of mind and something snapped.
I'm thinking he drank socially, but wasn't a boozer, ya know. If he was going to Poets, I'm sure he wasn't sipping on sprite, but that doesn't mean he was getting hammered either. He's a big guy. I'm sure he can put back a few without getting stupid drunk. Maybe someguy just meant that he didn't like drunks. The girl he dumped may have been a lush. My husband dated a girl for a few months but called it off because he was sick of carrying her to his car without her shoes at midnight every time they went out. It was a turn off, but my husband definitely drinks, as do I on some weekends, but I just don't get smashed. Once or twice a year I'll accidentally have too much - football season usually :blushing:
I agree. As far as being able to seat a jury of locals, I see nothing that indicates this case should be any more difficult than most any other relatively high-profile case in any midsized city in America. Just because a potential juror has read news reports or seen local news coverage, or heard rumors about this case doesn't automatically disqualify him/her. A juror should not have formed an opinion of the accused's guilt or innocence that would prevent him/her from listening to the testimony and then deliberating, based on the evidence presented. Even in the heart of the 'CajunNet', it shouldnt be too hard to find 14-16 people who qualify. JMO.
Somewhere in the back of my head I think there is another option...keeping the trial local and bringing jurors in from another area. I have no clue if this is something they actually do or if I am imagining it. After the day I have had, I could imagine just about anything and think it is true. :lurk:
