“It’s only Brady material if they know about it”: Context key in understanding actions of rogue Assistant US Attorneys in Jim Letten’s office

…..it should not go unnoticed that Letten, Perricone, Mann, Kennedy and Coman all learned how to prosecute under the tutelage of the justifiably-maligned Harry Connick. The excoriating opinions from the U.S. Supreme Court, which primarily address Connick’s office’s mishandling of Brady materials, are reflective of a “win at all costs” approach. It’s not as if Letten and … Continue reading ““It’s only Brady material if they know about it”: Context key in understanding actions of rogue Assistant US Attorneys in Jim Letten’s office”

Comment bump: It always seems to circle back to Gidget

Oyster aka Mark Moseley stopped in yesterday on Nowdy’s old Booker Diggins post and left a dynamite comment that is well worth repeating as it amplifies why her black book is a holy grail of sorts in local investigative journalism circles.  On the media side Mark’s work on the topic is second to none so … Continue reading “Comment bump: It always seems to circle back to Gidget”

At the risk of being seen as piling on: AROD speaks on the disaster in Jim Letten’s office!

Ashton was the subject of a criminal prosecution by US Attorney Jim … Continue reading “At the risk of being seen as piling on: AROD speaks on the disaster in Jim Letten’s office!”

Chilling Effects: “In case you were thinking of leaking to the press, think again”

Judge Lemelle delivers a pre-thanksgiving turkey in USA v Titus as the forfeiture is on

Slabbed coulda been a contender on this topic 😉 but I ended up taking several days off last week so I’m happy to see that Manuel Torres picked up the continuing story of the Titus prosecution as he did a great job with it.  The highlights: Last Wednesday Judge Lemelle granted an unopposed Government request that … Continue reading “Judge Lemelle delivers a pre-thanksgiving turkey in USA v Titus as the forfeiture is on”

Well folks all the prosecutions Sal Perricone commented upon are all getting a second looksie including the post Katrina Danziger Bridge murders.

“Launch of CIA Cocaine Coup turned on Romney win” gives needed context to Slabbeds examination of the Sibley prosecution

I know some of you folks likely speculate whether or not Slabbed has limits on the topics we cover or if we’re 100% No Fear.  That exact subject has been the topic of reader feedback since my second post that re-examined the money laundering prosecution of Greensburg area lawyer Hugh Sibley.  The international drug trade … Continue reading ““Launch of CIA Cocaine Coup turned on Romney win” gives needed context to Slabbeds examination of the Sibley prosecution”

Gotta give both Fred Heebe and the Wino their due….

I’m certain the Wino would tell you I give her too much credit but folks Slabbed’s deep throat source on all things Jefferson Parish has hung some skins on the wall and then some.  I mention this because back in March when Fred Heebe filed a defamation suit against Assistant US Attorney Sal Perricone the Wino … Continue reading “Gotta give both Fred Heebe and the Wino their due….”
