Hardy,
I know that you are no longer a licensed attorney, but your repeated statements that district judges receive a portion of the fees charged by bail bondsmen is a flat out LIE. These fees go into the court fund to be used for court expenses - not into the judges pockets as you state. You lose all credibility when you keep repeating such lies in support of your arguments. If you no longer have access to a law library, I will be glad to send you copies of the state statutes that detail how these fees are distributed so you can read them, hopefully understand what they say and stop repeating this lie.
Respectfully,
Charlielake

Fyi, everyone has free online access to all of Louisiana’s laws.  Just go to http://www.legis.state.la.us/ and click on Louisiana Laws located at the bottom left of the page.

Charleylake?  Are you ... you?  Have you been in the Alps for the winter?  France for the spring?  Welcome back.

Hardy,
I hate to clutter this site with this citation, but this is the actual statute that shows how the judges of our district court can spend funds from the judicial expense fund. If I can help you understand it, it does nor permit ONE PENNY to be paid to the judges themselves - only fur use in running the court.
Please stop inferring that the judges levy high bail bonds to enrich themselves - which is just what you are inferring.
You ain’t got either the facts or law on your side.
You lose!

“RS 13:996.10.  Judicial expense fund; disbursements

A.  The judges, en banc, of the Fourteenth Judicial District Court may, in lieu of all or any part of the fees for reporting and transcribing testimony authorized under the provisions of R.S. 13:964, or other applicable laws, and in addition to salaries otherwise provided, authorized, or established by law, fix and pay each of their court reporters a salary from the judicial expense fund.  The judges, en banc, may further appoint such secretarial, clerical, research, administrative, or other personnel as they deem necessary to expedite the business and function of the court and fix and pay all or any part of the salaries of such personnel out of the monies in the judicial expense fund.  In like manner, the judges, en banc, may utilize the monies in the judicial expense fund to pay all or any part of the cost of establishing or maintaining a law library, or both, for the court, or for buying or maintaining, or both any type of equipment, supplies, or other items consistent with or germane to the efficient operation of the court.  In general, the judicial expense fund is established and may be used for any purpose or purposes connected with, incidental to or related to the proper administration or function of the said court or the offices of the individual judges and is in addition to any and all other funds, salaries, expenses, or other monies that are not or hereafter provided, authorized, or established by law for any of the aforesaid purposes.

Who cares about the “sex offender” or what happens to them, what about the victim or victims?  Where is their life or justice?  The victims of sex crimes will never be the same.

A convicted sex offender should not be out of jail anyway, especially if the one who was sexually assaulted is a child. Check the stats on how many offenders repeat sexual assaults.

Perhaps rather than try to decide what the cocktail of New Orleans should be and if they can get a raise the Legislature should define sex offender.

DeWayne, I’ve posted for you the citations to many of Louisiana’s laws regarding sex crimes, did you get a chance to look at them?

Also, if you can post your petition, I’d like to see that.  Not all the signatures, but whatever it is that describes your group’s effort.  Thanks.

Troll I am just being sarcastic to a “know it all” legislature of which I have no regards, as well as a lieing governor. I am out of town at the moment and will be gone for about a week but if I can remember I will post the petition but it is vedry generic in wording.

Thanks, you mentioned earlier that you’ve already collected quite a few signatures, and that made me curious as to exactly how the petition is worded.

Its simple.
We the undersigned ask the legislature to create law that will incarcerate convicted child molesters for life. This is the jest and we have lawyers who volunterred services to help word a law to the effect of the petition.
We gained over 10,000 signatures including Rep. Noble Ellington, Sen. Francis Thompson, and Gov. bobby Jindal.

If you google DeWayne Guice you can see an interview made on Channel 10 in Lafayette in regards to the petition. The phone number is wrong My real number is (318) 758-0000
