re: WAFB: JT Lindsey turns himself in on accessory charge

Harlem Berry no longer plays against Ecole Classique….?we will see how Berry does when he starts to get popped by grown men. Berry’s success is not a done deal. Hope he has a successful injury free career

HB is going to be a good player at LSU. He has to fill out first.

LSU has 1 SEC capable RB, Durham.

Some initial impressions:

-The guns were JTs legally.
-JT absolutely knew everything there was to know about his two friends, the guy they killed, and their being wanted by the law.
-At a minimum, JT will have to cooperate against his friends to get a chance to plea to a lesser charge. It’s possible though that this kind of deal may not even be offered to him depending on the strength of the evidence against him and the nature of his actions.
-JT will never play football for LSU.

Really sad situation.

Spoke to two legacy members of #TeamSweep this AM.

This will be resolved by Wednesday.

Enjoy your weekend!

I’m saying I believe he owned the guns legally.

One of the reasons he will never play for LSU is because he had them on campus.

Guns in his dorm room should be instant expulsion.

What if a kid in Azalea Hall was found with an AR-15 in his room? Would he still be allowed to stay in school? With active shooter threats being a real thing, there can be no exceptions

Specific intent for accessory after the fact is a high bar.

The firearms in the dorm room is another matter altogether.

That’s exactly what I’m thinking and what I’ve been suggesting. Either that or a plea to a lesser offense, if there is one.

I have no idea what the clueless moron who keeps blowing up my mentions is on about

In Louisiana, knowing they have the warrants, letting them stay with you, AND not turning them in fulfills the “intent” need. (Not turning them in is what creates the intent)

Thanks for that context.

Our statutes are a little different here which will probably be no surprise. We have an accessory crime with the same level of intent needed, but a much harsher sentencing range (5–25 when the felony in question is murder-2, as opposed to 0–5 in LA). My experience is that some ADAs often open with that charge expecting to plead down to our general intent crime of harboring. That one more analogous in punishment (0–10) but only requires knowledge of the felony + offer of aid, without specific intent. It’s kind of rare to see them actually want to pursue accessory.

From what you’re describing, accessory in LA reads like our accessory charge, but functions more like the lesser already.

Thanks for catching me up

Yep. Well known around here he loves, and has, guns, and aside from stupidly having them on campus, was known to be responsible with them. But ironically could this be what hurts him most? It removes the possibility that the two murderers brought the guns there. He won’t have a “fear” element on which to fall back.

Probably hard for some to fathom but fear is real. Most of the folks that stick to the stupid arse “no snitching” rule stick to it out of fear of the consequences of speaking up. No snitching was meant to be a code amongst folks living a particular lifestyle. Not for the average citizen. Been black my whole life. Grew up in what many would consider to be the hood. I’m snitching. Don’t bring your BS around me!
