Yep. One of my favorite examples is Joel Durham, the 18-year-old from Metairie who shot and killed a McDonalds manager.
Convicted of first-degree murder, Durham was killed by Angola guards during an escape attempt in 1999. In the five years or so that he spent at Angola, Durham was apparently raped mercilessly - the story around the Jefferson Parish courthouse was that he had to wear adult diapars. Someone there had seen a copy of a prison medical report in '98 or so, and word just sort of got around.
Mr. Martel, nice little fib there. My father Peter Mule Sr was housed with joel in fact they worked in the woodshop together. but you did not tell the whole story. First of all that leo Kern, the REAL reason he was killed is because his father was another Bernie Manoff. He stole alot of money from alot of different investors for Robert Harvey,an atty in new orleans. Joe Joe’s orders was to make it look like a robbery. The reason Harry Lee got so involved was to protect Mr. Daniel Oppenihiemer who was the brains behind the whole scam in which, after he could not pass his bar exam, used the money to build what is now State Farm Acceptance.
