This guy slayed Bush, and should be in jail for life. 12 years is indeed troubling.

Yeah, at a press conf yesterday, the DA suggested we spend more on sports than combatting gun violence; then negotiates plea for this criminal for 12 years

how is this not 1st degree murder?


In Louisiana, First Degree Murder requires certain aggravating factors. A few examples are when the victim is a police officer or below the age of 12, when the perp is paid for the killing or when he kills someone in the commission of certain felonies, etc.

Based on the brief description in this thread, none of the aggravating factors were present, and specifically, neither "lying in wait" (ambush) nor "premeditation" are among the aggravaing factors in Louisiana.

Is this Hillar Moore?


Outside of relatively rare exceptions, Hillar doesn’t get directly involved in the micromanagement of his ADAs. I don’t have any direct knowledge of this particular case, but a resolution like this would generally be negotiated between the defense attorney and ADA, and then the ADA would seek approval of the victim’s family (this is sometimes done in reverse order, depending on the specific case). Then both the defense attorney and ADA would seek to approval of the judge regarding sentencing.

What the hell was a 41 year old doing with a 20 year old? Poor girl.

12 years? The parents of the victim should burn down the courthouse.



I'd be happy. I'll await my window of opportunity to bring about natural justice in 2034

So the DA and defense agreed to it. Judge can change the terms but rarely does.


Because they are apart of the same twisted little tribe.

So, the dude steals a gun (felony?), and a few hours later, shoots and kills the girlfriend on a sidewalk.

Judge Eboni (I am pronouncing E-Bonnie in my head just to piss her off) then releases the dude on bail AND allows the ankle monitoring device to be removed because the dude couldn't afford it. While it is off, he leaves his residence and goes to a DIFFERENT girlfriends house (baby mama) and almost strangles her to death in front of his two kids age 3 and 7. I am assuming the ankle monitor would've at least alerted police he was violated bail terms??

Yet, the DA still offers a plea deal?? What am I missing? I assume its some sort of sentencing loophole?

I remember this case. The perp shot the girl to death on that sidewalk adjacent to the Fairway View apartment complex. There were multiple eyewitnesses to the homicide, yet a plea was offered makes me believe the eyewitnesses weren’t willing to testify.

Ankle monitors track GPS location. Very fancy ones track drug/alcohol usage. So unless he was on house arrest such that he could literally never leave for any reason whatsoever, or there was a protective order in place for the second victim such that a geofence was created, no, his ankle monitor would not have alerted anyone to anything. Ankle monitors aren’t sentient.

Judge Eboni Johnson-Rose


There's your answer.


She sentenced that one black dude to only 45 years for his role in murdering that woman in Zachary

This part alone should've been 20 years minimum.

This is fricked up and needs explaining.

I am all for piling on the judges at the 19th JDC, but on the same day this judge agreed to the 12 year plea deal, she gave one of the killers of the elderly woman in Zachary a 45-year prison sentence at the request of the victim's husband.

The 12 year plea deal definitely seems like a weak case or something that would make it impossible to obtain a longer sentence.

The assault while out on bail should carry more than the 12 he got for killing someone.
