Political Illusions of the Cajun Mafia

,
A public records request was made on December 7P P2014 and December 22, 2014 to determine
public records or Louisiana laws (laws are public records) in regards to recording Grand Jury meetings.
The second request made was, “Provide any public records in regards to the alleged CPDA authority to
not keep records of Grand Jury Meetings.” The CPDA response was, “To the extent that any public
records are requested, no such records exist.” Based on the CPDA’s response the understanding is that
no such records exist that provide the CPDA the authority to decline to keep records of Grand Jury
meetings.
KPLC news published the article titled, “Grand Jury indicts 51 on drug distributions charges,”
supports the requested records is in fact public record. The article states that, “51 people were indicted
on cocaine distribution charges,” in the, “largest
anti-drug operation in Southwest Louisiana
history.” It is important to note that the KPLC
article is only mere trickery and is severely distant
from any accuracy. After fact checking the KPLC
article, an analysis concludes that only 5 people
were indicted for crimes of illegal substance
distribution for a total of 9 charges (“counts”). The
actual facts of the matter were drastically
overstated in KPLC’s reporting that “51 people
were indicted on cocaine Distribution Charges”.
“OPERATION 27” FACTS
• Less than 2% of the charges were allegations of illegal distribution (9 of 467 counts).
• Less than 3% of the charges were allegations of illegal possession (14 of 467 counts).
• 87% of the charges were allegations of conversations of illegal substances (408 of counts 467).
• 96.6% of the charges were UNOTU allegations of illegal distribution (451 of 467 counts).
