Political Illusions of the Cajun Mafia

This book examines “robust” political corruption in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. The book scrutinizes the transparency, schemes and co-conspirators involved in political corruption. It discusses how top elected officials use their power and public resources funded by local sales and property taxes to improperly target, retaliate and even maliciously prosecute the most ridiculous matters to further their personal agenda. The book examines in detail the types of public infringements involving corruption as well as the vast network of political connections to other various public schemes. The book is further evidence that political corruption in Louisiana is not only profound but more like organized crime controlled by mob bosses. Louisiana no longer will turn a “blind eye” and now demands zero tolerance for corruption and nepotism of elected officials.

The honorably discharged and disabled Marine<br />

Veteran defendant was sentenced on December 3, 2015. A<br />

public records request was delivered to Sigler and<br />

DeRosier on December 7, 2015 requesting to identify <strong>the</strong><br />

number <strong>of</strong> people that have been accepted into Veteran’s<br />

Court and what steps have been taken toward<br />

implementation in Calcasieu Parish. Governor Bobby<br />

Jindal proposed <strong>the</strong> Veterans Court Program (Senate Bill<br />

532) and was unanimously approved almost in 2014.<br />

The CPDA vendetta against a Veteran Marine is<br />

fur<strong>the</strong>r supported by DeRosier’s intentional delay <strong>of</strong><br />

Veterans Court implementation until <strong>the</strong> Defendant’s trial<br />

was completed to ensure that <strong>the</strong> defendant would not benefit from <strong>the</strong> State Law. DeRosier announced<br />

that Veterans Court begins in Calcasieu Parish Jan 1, 2016. DeRosier made no mention that <strong>the</strong> laws<br />

authored by Governor Jindal or that <strong>the</strong> program is actually a State Law for almost 2 years. DeRosier<br />

choose to instead mislead <strong>the</strong> public by proclaiming himself “Hometown Hero.”<br />

Only 4 days after <strong>the</strong> Veteran defendant was<br />

sentenced, DeRosier was featured on <strong>the</strong> KPLC news<br />

that designated DeRosier as <strong>the</strong> “Hometown Hero” and<br />

announced <strong>the</strong> creation <strong>of</strong> Calcasieu’s Veteran’s Court.<br />

The Veterans Court announcement stated o<strong>the</strong>r Veteran<br />

defendants that have been accused <strong>of</strong> non-violent crimes<br />

will go into a court with <strong>the</strong> intensions <strong>of</strong> helping <strong>the</strong><br />

Veteran instead <strong>of</strong> prosecuting Veterans.<br />

The CPDA announcement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> program just 2 days after receiving <strong>the</strong> Public Records Request<br />

that forced DeRosier to admit <strong>the</strong> not only Calcasieu was not compliant with Veterans Court State Law<br />

but that it was intentionally delays to retaliated against <strong>the</strong> defendant. It is suspiciously reactive in order<br />

to cover up and provide a response to <strong>the</strong> Public Records Requested.<br />
