Mayor Half Moon causes a ruckus endorsing Cynthia Willard Lewis over Stacy Head for NOLA Councilperson at large

I’ll be honest folks and disclose I’ve known about Mayor Mitch favoring Cynthia Willard Lewis for the council at large seat for about 2 weeks now and I expressed what I heard yesterday in comments after the angry recriminations hit these pages with the public announcement of the news.  I mention all this because  Willard-Lewis is one of … Continue reading “Mayor Half Moon causes a ruckus endorsing Cynthia Willard Lewis over Stacy Head for NOLA Councilperson at large”

Is Big D now cooperating with Team Letten? Time to shake the tree.

On a completely related note the recent postponement of Dominick Fazzio’s brother in law’s sentencing to October is raising speculation that Dominick Fazzio has decided to cooperate with the DOJ. Let the speculation begin. If Dominick Fazzio has indeed seen the light it puts that recent Mark Moseley column at the Lens in a whole new light … Continue reading “Is Big D now cooperating with Team Letten?

OK who squealed Part Deux: Channel 6 picks up coverage of the report on the turmoil in the senior ranks of the Young Administration

You guys may remember that Slabbed broke the story about former Jefferson Parish Deputy COO Richard Hart causing a ruckus  in the senior ranks of the Young Administration with his boorish behavior towards women.  Then we covered who squealed to the media in Councilman at large Chris Roberts, a man with a purported need to see himself … Continue reading “OK who squealed Part Deux: Channel 6 picks up coverage of the report on the turmoil in the senior ranks of the Young Administration”

Let’s grind this Perricone = Henry Mencken1951 thing into the dirt.

I’ve sat back and watched the media spectacle that is the Assistant US Attorney Sal Perricone’s cyber coming out party from its more serious manifestations as it relates to the subject of legal ethics, a cause we champion here on Slabbed to the ridiculous specter of WWL morning DJ Tommy Tucker terming Perricone a Gutless Wonder given Garlandfill Robinette’s part in this … Continue reading “Let’s grind this Perricone = Henry Mencken1951 thing into the dirt.”

Sal, it is time to step down

W O W ! ! I think it is wishful thinking for Letten to believe that this episode won’t have any effect on pending cases. Aside from that, this demonstrates the danger of assuming that those entrusted with representing the government are above reproach. And the defendants, lawyers, judges, and persons under investigation who were subjected … Continue reading “Sal, it is time to step down”

Dominick Fazzio in court this morning but all eyes were on assistant US Attorney Sal Perricone

At least that was the way WDSU TeeVee spun today’s Fazzio hearing on his motion to dismiss the charges against him. Luckily for everyone, Paul Rioux from the T-P was also there and he gave a good account of the hearing’s subject matter, Fazzio’s allegations of prosecutorial misconduct against Team Letten.  Here is a snippet: Berrigan has previously said she isn’t … Continue reading “Dominick Fazzio in court this morning but all eyes were on assistant US Attorney Sal Perricone”

And you’re outta here: Judge Ginger disqualifies Fazzio’s legal team.

Well folks, back in late September I put my Carnac the Magnificent hat on and predicted Fazzio lawyer Stephen London and his sidekicks would be DQ’d from USA v Fazzio as there was only one way Judge Ginger Berrigan could rule on the government’s motion and be on solid legal ground.  According to Gordon Russell at the T-P that is … Continue reading “And you’re outta here: Judge Ginger disqualifies Fazzio’s legal team.”

Broussard Indictment Links: “This is the end of the beginning” as Val Bracy shines on….

One of yesterday’s top search strings to Slabbed  yesterday was “Val Bracy fired”.  I was curious about the source of the googles and found it on Fox 8’s own website as they ran large segments of the Aaron Broussard extended interview, parts of which are subject to a libel suit against Fox 8 filed by Trout Point Lodge  and … Continue reading “Broussard Indictment Links: “This is the end of the beginning” as Val Bracy shines on….”

Big D says he is innocent: A Heebe/River Birch sacrificial lamb update

His lawyers, especially the ones paid by River Birch, will guarantee Dominick Fazzio spends a long time behind bars for the defrauding of Garner Services in a brother-in-law deal with former Garner Exec Mark Titus. Paul Rioux has the skinny for the Times Picayune as we are again reminded why I think Ginger Berrigan will do her best … Continue reading “Big D says he is innocent: A Heebe/River Birch sacrificial lamb update”
