New Orleans mayor LaToya Cantrell shows up in court to support…the thug that carjacked three women at gunpoint
https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/new ... carjacker/NEW ORLEANS, LA- You literally cannot make this up. As an epidemic of armed carjackings rages across the country, the mayor of New Orleans, LaToya Cantrell decided that she would support people involved in a series of high profile carjackings in her city.
Oh, she didn’t show up in court to support the victims who had loaded guns put to their heads…she showed up to support the criminal thug who perpetrated the crimes.
On Aug 18, Cantrell decided that she would show just how woke and progressive she was by making an unannounced appearance in juvenile court to support the 14-year-old suspect as he awaited sentencing for his role in the three armed carjackings.
As reported by WWL-TV in the Big Easy, juvenile officials, as well as the district attorney’s officer were taken aback by her appearance, where she sat with the criminal’s family in the courtroom.
In a magnification of the issues facing our criminal justice system in America, the young punk was sentenced to probation for three first-degree robbery convictions, crimes which occurred when he was 13 years old.
In handing down the sentence, Chief Juvenile Court Judge Ranord Darensburg noted that court rules prohibited him from speaking on the case, other than to say, “I followed the facts and the law.”
The appearance in support of the young thug was a sharp contrast to Cantrell’s phony show of support for New Orleans police officers just a couple weeks back.
