Lafayette could make national news again

Not saying it would be justified but it deals with race so who knows….

Apparently a City Court judge had a thief try to break into her car. It was caught on film and there was a video posted of her family reviewing the film and some hard Rs were dropped.

In the questions sent by text, The Current also asked Odinet whether she thought she could sit fairly in judgment of Black defendants who appear before her court and whether she was planning to apologize for use of this offensive and derogatory epithet. Her statement follows:

My children and I were the victim [sic] of an armed burglary at our home. The police were called and the assailant was arrested. The incident shook me to my core and my mental state was fragile. I was a wreck and am still unable to sleep. I was given a sedative at the time of the video. I have zero recollection of the video and the disturbing language used during it. Anyone who knows me and my husband, knows this is contrary to the way we live our lives. I am deeply sorry and ask for your forgiveness and understanding as my family and I deal with the emotional aftermath of this armed burglary.

Odinet did not directly address whether hers is the voice using the offensive racial epithets or whether she is the person who called the suspect “a roach,” though people familiar with Odinet say one of the voices using the racist language sounds like hers.
