    12/16/2016 "See News Release 076 for any Concurrences and/or Dissents." SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA No. 16-KP-0234 STATE OF LOUISIANA v. ROGERS LACAZE On Supervisory Writ from the Criminal District Court, Parish of Orleans PER CURIAM: Writ denied. The Fourth Circuit correctly reversed the district court’s order for a new trial. In 1995, an Orleans Parish jury found Rogers LaCaze, and separately, co- defendant Antoinette Frank, guilty of three counts of first degree murder for the March 4, 1995 armed robbery and triple homicide of siblings Cuong Vu and Ha Vu, employees of the family-owned Kim Anh Vietnamese restaurant in New Orleans East, and New Orleans Police Officer Ronnie Williams, who was at the time working a paid security detail at the restaurant. Antoinette Frank (“Frank”), herself a New Orleans Police Officer, was Ofc. Williams’s former partner and sometimes also worked security at the restaurant. After finding LaCaze guilty as charged on all three counts, jurors unanimously voted to impose the death sentence. This Court affirmed his convictions and sentence. State v. LaCaze, 99-0584 (La. 1/25/02), 824 So.2d 1063, cert. denied, LaCaze v. Louisiana, 537 U.S. 865, 123 S.Ct. 263, 154 L.Ed.2d 110 (2002). The state’s case was premised on the survivors’ identifications of both LaCaze and Frank, in addition to other evidence which showed, inter alia, that after Frank met LaCaze in November 1994, the pair established a routine of acting in concert while Frank was on duty, with LaCaze accompanying her as she responded to calls.

Authorities refuse to identify the officer or divulge the circumstances surrounding the shooting. On Aug. 17, several hundred Black residents held a protest at city hall to demand justice. Source: Yahoo!/States News Service, 8/17/98 Calvin Moore 18 — February 21, 1996. Kilby Correctional Facility: Mr. Moore was serving a two-year sentence for a burglary conviction. He weighed about 160 pounds on Jan. 26, 1996. When he died less than a month later, he weighed 110 pounds. He had lost 56 pounds in less than a month and suffered symptoms of severe mental illness as well as dehydration and starvation after entering the prison. Despite the fact that Calvin was often unable to walk or talk and spent days lying on the concrete floor of his cell in a pool of his own urine, nurses repeatedly failed to provide basic medical care. Not even his vital signs were recorded for the last nine days of his life. An official state autopsy, which concluded that he died of “natural causes,” was called a “whitewash” by an internationally renowned expert on forensic medicine. The expert said Calvin’s death was “a homicide resulting from criminal negligence.” The prison’s health-care provider, Correctional Medical Services (CMS), said, “It is clear the health care staff provided appropriate and compassionate care.” Calvin Moore’s father sued CMS and seven medical professionals, including nurses and doctors, charging malpractice and negligence.

  • The Murder Trial of Shareef Cousin
    The Murder Trial of Shareef Cousin Overview The murder was shocking, even in a city recently pro claimed the murder capital of the United States. For their first date, Michael Gerardi gave Connie Babin a single red rose and took her out to dinner at the Port of Call restau rant on the edge of New Orleans’ historic French Quar ter. As they were returning to his truck, parked a block away, they were confronted by three African American youths. Before Gerardi had a chance to hand over his wallet, he was shot in the face. A part-time bartender, who was also a medical student, provided emergency first aid but to no avail. Michael Gerardi was killed dur ing what became known as New Orleans’ bloodiest week. Acting on an anonymous tip, New Orleans Police Department detectives arrested Shareef Cousin at his home just a few blocks from where Michael Gerardi had been slain. Nine months later the case went to trial. The state’s star witness was Connie Babin, the victim’s date, who identified Cousin as the attacker. The defense countered with an alibi contending that Cousin was playing basketball about the time of the shooting. Amid intense local media coverage, the majority African American jury convicted Shareef Cousin of first-degree murder and sentenced him to death. National atten tion soon focused on the case as well. Shareef Cousin became a poster child for the anti–death penalty move ment; he was only 16 at the time of the murder and thus garnered the dubious distinction of being one of the youngest people on America’s death row.
