re: State argues to revoke parole eligibility for Kipp Gullett’s killer

Very few stories I've read hit me as hard as this one. Maybe it's because I was a college student at that time, although not at LSU. I had a lot of friends who lived in Kirby Smith. Just reading about how this poor kid begged for his life and how terrified he must have been is gut wrenching. Maybe this guy has changed, found God...however you want to put it. If so, he can do his work in prison to change others. But for what he did to that kid and his family, he has no business ever being a free man again as long as he's alive.

Personally, I find it odd that judge eboni should even care about craig.
I mean, he is wypepo.
Wonder if she's getting paid for her "consideration"?

Unlike Kipp's, whose was frozen for all time when this POS murdered him.

quote:Yes. The real insanity is that, after someone commits a heinous crime like this, society has to house, feed and clothe the guy for the next 50-60 years. We need to fix the death penalty so it stops being a decades long process, and start routinely using it in cases like this one.
I think they should revisit death penalty

This is basically an ad for the death penalty.

He was actually sentenced to death. Years later he got that commuted to life due to his age at the time of the killing. (And he was only 1 week away from his “magical” 18 year old birthday that would have allowed him to be executed)
Now he wants out. frick him. He should have already be executed.
And how is he “generous” “kind” in prison? It not like he’s helping old ladies across the street or anything.

I went to middle school at Park Forest with Dwayne. I also had friends who went to school with his Co Defendant Zebbie at Istrouma middle magnet. Remember when this happened and couldnt believe it

Meh, I heard that Trump was going to recharge his with a federal offense and pardon him.

Weird how so many of us knew that loser. It’s hard to describe how he was regarded in middle school. Kind of a ‘leader or a pack of misfits.’ Conversely, I stilll keep up with a few of those misfits, mostly through Facebook, and most of them have gone on to be quite successful.
I knew him in middle school. I kind of assumed he would end up like this. I don't remember what school he went to before Westdale, but he came in and stood out immediately. I'll never forget his first day when he came into school with a denim jacket with black leather sleeves and a confedarate battle flag covering the full back of the jacket. I remember thinking that he had to be crazy. He just didn't care. Personally, I always got along with him, but I knew I couldn't let muself become "friends" with him. I watched a guy nicknamed "Oat" get too close to him and darkened his personality.

Correct. He received his clemency to life and it should stay that way. I could give two shits that he is rehabilitated. He killed a kid that involved multiple felonies. He should die at Angola.

Google says he died in 2021, so at least he can’t be an accomplice to any more murders.

How much money has the lawyer made off the state of Louisiana keeping the scum's legal challenges going?
I'd like to set a limit on that based on the crime. A max limit for all crimes and for those with this level of horror, 20% of the total. When the money runs out, the dude's rot in jail with no hope.

Very disappointed in Chief Justice Weimer's comments. I thought he was better than that.
He’s also a leftist, shouldn’t be surprised that he’s soft on a criminal.

Johnson Rose found evidence that Craig had “grown, matured and been rehabilitated during his prison term” and ruled he was not among the rarest group of juvenile offenders classified as “permanently incorrigible”
Great.

Wonderful.

John Landis, Craig's court-appointed post-conviction attorney of the past 28 years, described the prisoner as a "mature 50-year-old man who is humble, thoughtful, remorseful, peaceful and generous."
Fantastic.
Here's the thing though. You see, the punishment for the crime you committed is "life in prison without the possibility of parole". So I don't really give a frick what kind of man you turned out to be. I guess I'm bias though, I knew Kipp.

I graduated right before this happened. Still remember this vividly. This guy should rot in prison no matter how much he has changed.

The State appealed the retroactive resentencing and parole eligibility and the First Circuit Court of Appeal held that the State had no right of appeal.
The Louisiana Supreme Court just ruled (10/24/2025) that:
While it isn't over yet, there is still a chance that this murderer stays behind bars.

Judges are enemies of the state.
