**update** state supremes to hear amanda gutweiler hypes appeal 27 november 2007
----ORIGINAL POST----
this cant be good....the rapides parish district attorney's office was caught leaking secret grand jury testimony to a sheriff's deputy bobby sandoval and to dr. john dehaan a so called 'expert witness' so they would know what story to pitch in ms. gutweiler-hypes trial. ninth judicial district court judge donald johnson threw the charges against ms. gutweiler-hypes out and the third circuit affirmed.
now, we see that the state supreme court wants to weigh-in for what reason remains to be seen. with the duke rape case over in north carolina we saw the district attorney there disbarred and sent to jail for misusing his office. in louisiana nothing happens to a district attorney with a propensity for railroading. in fact, in state of louisiana v leslie otto ordodi the louisiana supreme court judicial monkeys ruled that merely thinking about a crime -- not actually committing a crime, was reason enough to arrest, convict and sentence someone to many years in prison. On the 14th day of September, 2007, the following action was taken by the Supreme Court of Louisiana in the cases listed below:
WRIT APPLICATIONS GRANTED:
2006-K -2596 STATE OF LOUISIANA v. AMANDA GUTWEILER AKA AMANDA HYPES (Parish of Rapides)
