No worries. It will be interesting to see how it shakes out. Many people up this way feel like there is more to the story. I could definitely see the DA recusing himself and allowing the AG to take over.
Which it does. As I pointed out, the victim was over 65, which falls under 905.4(A)(10). Your original post stated that the prosecution would have to prove the offender's intent in regards to the sheriff's former position. This is irrelevant, as the fact that he was over 65 alone is an aggravating circumstance.
Huh? First degree murder carries a potential death penalty sentence. What's your point?

quote:

C.  Whoever commits the crime of first degree murder shall be punished by death or life imprisonment at hard labor without benefit of parole, probation, or suspension of sentence in accordance with the determination of the jury.

That’ll all depend on the “why”.


There's at least one, and possibly two, other predicates for First Degree Murder that are supported by the facts.

First, he was over 65. That meets section 5 of La. R.S. 14:30, which reads:

quote:

(5) When the offender has the specific intent to kill or to inflict great bodily harm upon a victim who is under the age of twelve or sixty-five years of age or older.


Second, there are rumors of this being a robbery or burglary. If so, it could be charged under section 1, which reads:

quote:

(1)  When the offender has specific intent to kill or to inflict great bodily harm and is engaged in the perpetration or attempted perpetration of... aggravated burglary, armed robbery..., first degree robbery, second degree robbery, simple robbery...

I, for one, welcome our coming robot overlords. I'd like to remind them that I would make an excellent house pet. I'm mostly house trained and It's better than slaving away in the lithium mines.

I don't think they really need an excuse.

I lived in the D.C. area at the time. My wife came down with symptoms that could be attributed to anthrax. The post office that handled our mail was the one the letters went through. She had to be tested for anthrax. Luckily, the test was negative.

Once you become vested in the state's pension plan you automatically lose around half of whatever SS benefits you would have gotten had you done anything else but go to work for a state system which does not pay into the federal government's Ponzi scheme.


There seems to finally be some momentum to change this foolishness.

While this is true, if you combine this with a good concealed carry insurance policy that, at a minimum, provides for the cost of your defense, you are in a much better position.

Nvm. Its on Carol Court but is close.
I put up 4 Wyze cameras for about the price that one Ring floodlight was going to cost. Two of them are Wyze Camera V3s and two are Wyze floodlights. I love them so far.

They are Alexa enabled and I can watch them on my phone, iPad or FireTv.

Yes, I'm just tracking, not truly budgeting. I'm really just looking for a way to help my wife keep up with what she has spent. Apparently a pen and paper is too complex for her, so now we have a spreadsheet doing simple math for her.

I balance frequently, I really just need her to keep up with what she spends.

Thanks. I’ll check this one out. I’m really only looking for a step above a spreadsheet like the description says.

It’s just not a feature I need. I’m not trying to categorize expenses. I don’t need that level of detail. I’m just trying to track the total amount spent during a weekly period.

Thanks. I looked at it first and its more complex than what I need from what I can tell. Also, I don't want anything that connects to my bank.

Budgeting App

I’m looking for a simple app that my wife and I can use to track a weekly budget. Right now we are using Google Sheets because it can be shared. I simply put in the starting amount for the week, and we each enter our debits as we go. Since it is shared, we can both see what is left until the next period starts.

This is just for our daily living expenses, as I track our recurring bills separately. Everything I have seen on the App Store and Google Play is much too complex and unnecessary. I’m essentially looking for a check register feature similar to the old Microsoft Money program.

Cross-platform sharing is important since she is on Apple and I am Android.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
