Hung Jury: Molestin’ Jerry “Captain Jay” Dantin gets a mistrial.
Folks the bottom line here is all Jerry Dantin’s lawyer Robert Toale had to defend his client was to attack the victim and his Momma because despite Grand Isle Police Chief Euris Dubois’ best efforts to fuck this case up from the start, the jury still came within one vote of sending the perv up to Angola for the rest of his life. Even the prosecution acknowledged the obvious per Paul Purpura’s story on the topic straight from the Gretna courthouse:
Assistant District Attorney Jerry Smith did not sugarcoat what appeared to happen in Dubois’ office, saying in closing argument that Dubois and Camardelle believed Dantin over the boy’s mother, and that by gathering in the chief’s office, “they knew they could smooth this over.”
“What happens on the island stays on the island,” Smith said.
In previous posts on this topic I wrote that Slabbed was keeping its editorial mind open to the fact that DA Paul Connick’s office was half-assing the prosecution of Dantin, who is politically connected through Grand Isle Mayor David Carmadelle and his long standing friendship with police chief Euris Dubois. I think Paul’s report makes it clear ADA Jerry Smith pursued this case, purposely flawed at the investigative stage IMHO, as aggressively as he could given what he had to work with. Paul Connick and his office gets lots of well deserved criticism here on Slabbed but in this instance they get props for prosecuting this case despite the political heat applied to Connick by a certain west bank crooked politico whose initials are John Alario.
I have a fair amount of material accumulated that is tangentially related to the Dantin case that will be rollled out while we await a new trial date.
sop
speaking of that trash bag alario did you notice he is a new witness in the gill-pratt re-trial?

I may be naive but how in the world can there be any doubt of any kind that Dantin molested this child? He confessed. Help me out here. I don’t get it. Has anyone talked to the holdout jurors? This smells to high heaven.

Despite police chief Euris Dubois’ attempts to interfere with proper gathering of evidence, Dantin confessed to his crimes in front of the child’s mother. Dantin’s known associate, PATRICK WALSH, was taking pictures of children at Sunday’s Krewe of Dionysus parade in Slidell has been arrested on several counts of possessing child pornography, police announced.
Kriss Fortunato, newly appointed spokesperson for Jefferson Parish, is married to John Fortunato, chief public information spokesman for the JP Sheriff’s Office, the agency which SHOULD have INVESTIGATED this case PROPERLY.

“We are so excited to be selected as one of the top 10 winter retreats. Thanks to the determination of the Town of Grand Isle officials, Jefferson Parish officials and citizens, we have survived many disasters, from hurricanes to the major oil spill,” said David Camardelle, Mayor of Grand Isle.
“Grand Isle offers a taste of everything unique about southeast Louisiana: good people, great food, and an atmosphere that offers both fun and relaxation.
We are excited to share this secret with the rest of the world,” said District 1 Councilman Chris Roberts.
Grand Isle is widely known for its many fishing rodeos. One of the most popular is the Grand Isle International Tarpon Rodeo which is held the last weekend in July.

HOLD IT….(Literally)…
http://www.tarponrodeo.org
Has HUNDREDS of photos of Carmadelle & Chris Roberts, Aaron Broussard, Arthur Lawson, CONNICK, & MORE…
falling all over one another to get in front of the camera, to the STAGE, the MICROPHONE, & MORE BOOZE & FOOD.
I Wonder if Cap’n Jay was ENTERTAINING their KIDS & GRANDKIDS?
The photos also show LOTS of POLICE, COAST GUARD, SHERIFF’S DEPT….
I expect in a few years MORE CASES of molestation will emerge & how do you think SISSY CRISSY will feel when his adorable little son tells him that he went to Jerry Dantin’s petting zoo but couldn’t TELL HIS DADDY WHEN IT HAPPENED BECAUSE Cap’n JAY said HE WOULD KILL HIM IF HE TOLD?

Zelda: I agree that responsible parents will NOT bring their children to the Tarpon Rodeo. It has been a hellhole of pimps and prostitutes over the years and well known to all the politicos who used it for their own purposes. One particular female was traded like a stock over the years…it has always been the time and place that all the elected officials of Jefferson Parish acted out. Jokes were made about and by highly placed officials. It is a disgusting display of bad behavior. To bring children into such a well known debauchery is tantamount to child abuse. Especially since admitted pedophiles are protected there.

O…MY…Just think about the implications of this PROBABILITY…
Carmadelle is DANTIN’S STEPSON?….The STEPSON ALWAYS GETS IT……..
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
and without STOPPING the CYCLE (with counseling, spiritual enlightenment, however one goes about dealing with that…) STEPSON Is LIKELY to have some severe sexual/psychological deviations. ugh….
GOOD THING JIM LETTEN ARRESTED THAT 79 YEAR OLD MAN in Slidell, WHO HAD NASTY PICTURES ON HIS COMPUTER!!!! THIS GUY’s probably HARMLESS….
I mean really, who has the jurisdiction to designate what a person has a right to LOOK AT on a COMPUTER?…. I UNDERSTAND if there is an ACTUAL & IMMEDIATE HUMAN CHILD being HARMED on the PREMISES, but IMAGES…..Think about that….
OLD DUDE, never even LEFT HIS HOUSE!…
That is supposed to be IMPRESSIVE!?
Jim LETTEN is as INDECENT as THESE sickies who prey on BABIES! HE HAS THE POWER TO STOP IT & HE PERVERTS JUSTICE with the standard old MEDIA diversions!..
Is the public REALLY threatened by a person who is sitting at home?
DO SOMETHING WORTHWHILE, MAN!
LATER…
I’m arranging a photo album of Tarpon Rodeo UNTOUCHED photos! The REALITY, needs NO ADDED DISTORTION…I tell ya, this digital age may be the downfall of political piggies…They’re SO narcissistic & BOY do they LOVE seein’ their name in print & pose with the BEAUTY QUEEN SITTIN’ ON THEIR LAP!…Politics is their ticket to continue the DELUSION that they are IMPOTENT…Important…..THEY MUST BE STOPPED!
If LAW won’t do it, perhaps HUMILIATION through the REALITY they’ve CREATED by their OWN DEEDS?

I KNOW….RIGHT!!!!!!!!!?????…
I strongly suspect that indecency & lust for power, money, social status, fame…are INSEPARABLE. Decency requires a regard for truth. Lust for love & true “wealth” joie de vivre is attained by being mindful about the people & causes one chooses to pursue….. THANKS to the SLABBED NATION for ya’ll’s association.

Check out NOLA story on ex-priest and admitted pedophile sex offender Dino Cinel…particularly note the reference to Archbishop Philip Hannan tipping Cinel off about the investigation and New Orleans District Attorney Harry Connick declining to prosecute. The apple does not fall far from the tree: Jefferson Parish District Attorney Paul Connick must have learned all he knows at Uncle Harry’s knee.
