so long anti-masker!!https://lawandcrime.com/crime/louisiana-judge-who-claimed-to-have-zero-recollection-of-racial-slur-video-resigns-from-bench/
A Louisiana judge has resigned from the Lafayette City Court, and admitted she was the one who used the N-word in video footage in which she and relatives narrated an alleged failed car burglary.
I take full responsibility for the hurtful words I used to describe the individual who burglarized the vehicles at my home, Michelle Odinet wrote in a letter dated Friday to Louisiana Supreme Court Chief Justice John L. Weimer. I am sorry for the pain that I have caused my community and ask for your forgiveness, as my words did not foster the publics confidence and integrity for the judiciary.
The video in question appeared to be a cell phone recording of a television set on a small entertainment center. Playing on the television is what in turn appeared to be a nighttime surveillance recording of the botched alleged burglary.
And moms yelling, N****r! N****r! a young man said in the footage while apparently describing and narrating the underlying incident.
We have N****r! a womans voice then said off camera while laughing and recounting the occurrence. Its a N****r! Like a roach.
No one speaking appears in the footage. Ronald Handy, 59, who is Black, was arrested and charged with two counts of simple burglary in connection with the incident.
