LIVINGSTON PARISH, La. (WAFB) - A woman tied to the high-profile Livingston Parish rape case involved former deputy Dennis Perkins who was previously convicted in the 2014 sexual assault of an unconscious woman back in December of 2021, has had her conviction thrown out by the Louisiana First Circuit Court of Appeal.

She’s safer in prison than out……

quote:
Records obtained by WAFB show the First Circuit Court of Appeal reviewed the records in the case and wrote that, “In light of its unique facts, we conclude that justice will only be served if the defendant is granted a new trial where a new jury will have the benefit of all the evidence. It is the paramount objective of upholding the integrity of our judicial system that dictates this result. Convictions and sentences vacated; remanded for new trial.”
According to the ruling, the court said evidence was not presented that could have helped Curtin defend herself.
Why didn’t her lawyers provide the evidence?
Am I missing something?

I actually knew Mel and Jason - when they were married. She was sweet back then…although when Jason divorced her, I think she went off the deep end. Has 2 great boys. My son played ball with the oldest.

Her time never seemed right to me. Guilty, but her association with Perkins resulted in a ridiculous sentence.

Is there any updated pics for research purposes? She may need a pen pal in the future

I mean sexual assault is wrong, but why did he get a life sentence? And what did this woman have to do with it?

Im guessing she will be looking for a nice plea before the next trial.

I’m late to the party here, but the unconscious victim that was raped was Perkins’ wife of the time? And this lady here was sentenced to life in prison?
And did someone just say Mel and Jason as in she was married to the Livingston Chief of Police?!

I always thought it was insane that she received a longer sentence than Cynthia.

Good. Now it gets fun. She can go off on Ard.
