And in a related story??
Man knocks out CBD robbery victim before police arrive, arrest him: NOPD

Can there be a ring of pretty boys operating in N. O. whose real goal is to get sent to the slammer? (pun at readers discretion)

If this turd can afford a good Lawyer they may get this reduced to Manslaughter but the Civil Suit will F him for years.

They family would be better off with him out and working so he could pay.

Why is this thread allowed but not anything about the LSU alum and alleged paedophile who was arrested twice last fall for distribution of child porn

quote:

A warrant charging 25-year-old Garrett Ward with murder in the fatal beating earlier this month of 60-year-old Arnold Jackson states Ward punched and kicked the man more than three decades his senior "for no apparent reason other than the fact that (he) was drunk and upset."

Interesting situation, I certainly wanna know more details of how this interaction played out.

If Ward belligerently beat an innocent man to death, it’s a no-brainer. It would seem that would be an unlikely scenario, but I guess ya never know.

I’m more inclined to believe there was something, be it panhandling or attempted mugging, or instigation of some some sort from the old man that resulted in an overaction from Ward, obviously exacerbated by his drunkenness.

If mugging, seems clear that Ward would be in the clear. If old man in any way instigated this fight, seems Ward might have a decent defense. If panhandling, it gets blurry depending upon how aggressive the panhandler was.

I don’t know Ward, but I find it hard to believe a professional would randomly beat a random innocent old man to death. My guess is the old man shares some blame, and the courts will have to determine what blame rests with Ward.

So I read Ole boy is out the pokey. That’s good. Hope he gets to enjoy Krewe Du Vieux. He should hook up with Olivia Matte and they can do hot rails together.

Manslaughter 1, 5-15 years, Fine, Probation, Felon for Life. Plus lawyer fees out the arse to defend a murder case and get it dropped to Man 1.

Civil Suit (wrongful death) from the family for a million.

Garret is Fuuuuuuuucked

Don't any of you watch Law & Order
