St. Slammany - woman gets 30 years for home renovation fraud

At first I thought, what the hell?, but then I saw she has SEVEN previous theft and fraud convictions. She apparently isn't one for honest work or being scared of jail.

The owner of a Mandeville-area interior decorating company has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for defrauding clients who hired her for home renovations, according to 22nd Judicial District Attorney Warren Montgomery's office.

Danielle Gaspard, 36, pleaded guilty in February in two separate cases, both involving multiple victims who paid her company, Belissimo Interiors, for home renovation work that either was not completed or not done at all.

Gaspard's attorney asked for a lesser sentence than the 20-year mandatory minimum for some of the charges. But the Ponchatoula woman had seven prior theft and fraud convictions, including issuing worthless checks and bank fraud, and District Judge Scott Gardner sentenced her Friday as a multiple offender, he news release from Montgomery's office said.
