quote:


Eddie Jordan, who made a name for himself as the U.S. Attorney who prosecuted former Governor Edwin Edwards, was the subject of an investigation Thursday on suspicion that he may have handed contraband to an inmate he was representing at the Orleans Parish Criminal Courthouse.

Jordan was representing an inmate in Section F. He handed a stack of papers to his client, at which point deputies took the papers and found a bag of drugs in the stack of documents.




quote:


Jordan then left the building as deputies began to see if he was still in the courthouse.

Jordan was a former Orleans Parish District Attorney, serving from 2003 to 2007.

He previously served as the United States attorney for the eastern district of Louisiana from 1994 to 2001.

He gained notoriety during his time as U.S. attorney for prosecuting Edwards but drew complaints as DA after he fired white employees and replaced them with black employees.

He also drew criticism for releasing several high-profile crime suspects, including Mike Anderson who was accused of gunning down five teens. Jordan said he could not find a witness, but police located him a short time later.

All those defense attorneys do this...otherwise their client will fire them and hire an attorney that will

Same thing happened to Latoya Cantrells husband

It happens all the time and I am stunned every time it does.

Who do these guys think the inmate is going to give up the very first chance he gets to make a deal?

Zero chance the inmate doesn't either testify against them to help himself or proceed to blackmail them for further services and contraband. Likely the latter and then the former as a matter of fact.

I'm seeing this stuff happen quite often lately, usually among guards. What do they have to gain by getting drugs to inmates?

This is what systemic racism actually is.

A lot of Corrections officers will tell you off the record that they know about the drug use and who is dealing and who is supplying and they look the other way. They would rather have the inmates "sedated" so that they can control them.

In my dealings with Jordan, I have to say that I am not really surprised by this news.

He’s the type of person who’s pretty dumb but he thinks he’s the smartest guy around. He doesn’t seem to be aware that people think he’s a buffoon and a simpleton. He just doesn’t seem to be smart enough to know when he’s crossing the line.
