"He stood over him and made sure that he was dead. He wanted him dead because you going to shoot a man three times & come back and shoot him three more times? You wanted him dead. You wanted him dead," said Ford.

In September 2015, a 12-person jury listened to a week-long trial and all 12 returned the same verdict: guilty of second-degree murder. But then presiding Judge Trudy White threw the Stockton family for a loop.

"It was a shock. All the jury find this man guilty of second-degree murder and then the judge comes back and says that she wants to overrule the verdict, she wants to overturn it, the judge, Judge Trudy White comes back and says she wants to overrule the verdict," said Ford.

Kiran: What was your reaction in the courtroom at that moment in the courtroom?
Ford: We all left out crying.

In court records, Judge White said because Bland, the shooter, was drunk, she overturned a unanimous jury's verdict and made it negligent homicide. The difference? Second-degree murder requires a person to spend the rest of their life in jail, while negligent homicide only has a maximum of five years behind bars.





quote:

In September 2010, a mother, Alexandra Engler, was gunned down and her then nine-year-old daughter was shot multiple times as she tried to run out the front door of their home in the historic Beauregard Town neighborhood. Engler's daughter was left for dead but miraculously survived. DNA linked Aramis Jackson to evidence left at the scene.

The year before the shooting, Jackson was arrested for illegal carrying of weapons and carrying a gun in a firearm free zone. In that case, the charges were dismissed and Judge Trudy White told Jackson to perform three random acts of kindness. He is still awaiting trial on the case from Beauregard Town.




quote:

In another case, Dalvin Sewell was arrested for allegedly robbing someone at gunpoint. A jury returned a guilty verdict for first-degree robbery with a minimum three-year sentence and a maximum of 40 years. Judge Trudy White sentenced Sewell to the minimum of three years.



quote:


Also in another case, Robert Noce was arrested accused of raping a girl under the age of 13 and allegedly had been doing so since she was just four years old. He was arrested in 2012 accused of aggravated rape and had been in jail ever since.

In court, Noce pleaded no contest to a lesser charge of carnal knowledge of a juvenile. Judge Trudy White sentenced him to 10 years but suspended it all giving him credit for time already spent locked up and put him on five-years probation. The victim's boyfriend is accused of killing Noce.

This was reversed on appeal and the appellate court reinstated the second degree murder conviction. In a concurrence Judge McDonald stated:

quote:

While I agree with the majority opinion, I take this opportunity to additionally comment that the trial judge's decision in this case was an injustice to the victim, to the citizens of the State of Louisiana, and to our criminal justice system. In eleven pages of written reasons, the judge attempts to justify reducing this obvious second degree murder conviction to a negligent homicide conviction. The judge lists twelve so-called "undisputed facts" but fails to mention other facts that plainly prove the intent of the defendant to kill the victim. To ignore the facts does not change the facts.

This thread needed pictures of the aforementioned Judicial Scholar with a moral compass and ethical chops. Glad she took a paid vacation with all that pent up vacation time she garnered up.

Back to letting criminals avoid jail time to roam the streets and commit more crimes.

But bleeding them financially so they have to go out and commit more crime to pay her cut of bail/monitoring.

Please expound


Trudy White encountered Aramis Jackson when he was charged with illegal possession of a firearm on the LSU campus while on probation. Instead of putting him in jail, she ordered that Jackson "do good deeds".

Shortly after that....Jackson decided to break into a home in Beauregard Town in Baton Rouge (a few blocks from BRPD HQ) in the middle of the night. He shot the female homeowner and her 9 year old daughter for a flat screen television.


Holy shite

You guys remember when Gravy tried to block merriweather from interviewing Judge White because Merriweather wanted to ask her questions about Gravy's friend Cleve Dunn, Sr's criminal monitoring business that White was funneling business to because Cleve Dunn Jr was her chief of campaign? Yeah, Gravy said he wasn't gonna let a black woman be interviewed by another black man for some reason. It was weird.

As a black man and the owner of a media platform, I then asked Greg to leave the judge be. He then shushed me. Which let me know he couldn’t be reasoned with.




Holy shite

Greg has no respect for the people he is “investigating” and we love gossip so much that we trust anything that mainstream media says, without questioning it.
