WOW!! Altho’ I did kinda see this coming …. here we go again.
What a waste of taxpayer money to give him another trial, but his rights were violated. But doesn’t he run a huge risk of possibly getting more jail time or a longer sentence? The evidence was overwhelmingly against a not guilty verdict. Or does he just hope for a hung jury?
It smacks of the good Leo boy system. This first judge should have all his verdicts pulled and looked into. Maybe he is unfit to serve as a judge. Is no one accountable for anything any more?
Lafitte is entitled to a fair trial but I think he is guilty as sin. Hopefully all the t’s will stay crossed and i’s all dotted and he will be returned to prison after the retrial for a period of at least his original sentence or even longer. .
Hey is likly guilty but it appears at least one juror thought otherwise and the Judge put his thumb on the scale to “quickly” put an end to something he should have let the case run its course. To get it done before Thanksgiving.
