LA - Shooting Leaves Five Dead, Livingston & Ascension Parishes, Jan 2019 *Guilty*

[Niner]

Thanks a bunch @SeesSeas ! Nice to see you!

Wonder why I couldn't get it to come up in the Outline site....

 

[Niner]

Bumping up.... any news on "when" in March is the court hearing? TIA!

 

[Niner]

Oops - let this one go too long. There was supposed to be a trial on 8/10/20 for Livingston Parish charges - but highly doubt it happened.

Anyone reading here - can you access Louisiana court sites?

I have Livingston Parish - 3 counts of murder - last hearing supposed to be in March, 2020, no date was given.

in Richmond County 24th Judicial District court - 2 counts of murder - Ascension Parish - his parents - last hearing was supposed to be 6/24/19.

Dakota Theriot

TIA! if anyone can find any thing!

I signed up to review online court documents for LA but even doing so, you must buy a subscription. Such ridiculousness. JMO.

I found this article dated 7/8/20.
Dakota Theriot, accused of killing five, faces the death penalty. Coronavirus may delay his trial

A trial for Dakota Theriot, who is accused of killing five people in Livingston and Ascension Parishes, is unlikely to happen this year as the coronavirus pandemic slows down courts.

Prosecutors recently filed a motion in the death penalty case asking for more time. They say they have been delayed in getting the necessary records from Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office because of cuts to staff hours.

Theriot, 23, was scheduled to go to trial sometime later this year in the deaths of his parents, Keith and Elizabeth Theriot in Ascension Parish and three members of the same family — Billy, Summer and Tanner Ernest — in Livingston Parish in January of 2019.

However, with the delays, that trial likely won't happen any time soon.

Livingston Parish District Attorney Scott Perrilloux said Wednesday that most court cases have seen some kind of delay as the pandemic forces closures, distancing or disrupts schedules. But this case, as the district's only active death penalty case, has seen a more prominent delay.

Death penalty cases require a wider breadth of evidence, which means a lot of back-and-forth between investigating agencies. The case spanned two parishes and ended with Theriot's arrest in Virginia, so it will take some time to receive records and pore through them all, Perrilloux said.

"The issue (of delays) is a little more isolated to that case because it's a capital case and the details are extraordinary," he said. "In that case the detective was pulled in some different ways and they were a little shorthanded for different reasons, it was a combination of factors but attributable to the coronavirus."

Theriot's next court date is set for Aug. 10 in Livingston Parish.

I don't see anything current for him. When you search his name on Facebook, even the private page dedicated to the murders, doesn't have any recent posts.

If you put the perps name in Facebook search, the family of the victims are posting. It is such a sad situation and this resurgence in Covid is not helping.
