NEW ORLEANS A federal judge sentenced five former police officers to
years in prison for the deadly shootings on a New Orleans bridge in the
chaotic days following Hurricane Katrina but not before lashing out at
prosecutors for allowing others involved to serve lighter penalties for
their crimes. The case that wrapped up Wednesday was the centerpiece of a
Justice Department push to clean up New Orleans police department that has
long been tainted with corruption.
.
U.S. District Judge Kurt Engelhardt expressed frustration that he was
bound by mandatory minimum sentencing laws to imprison former Sgts.
Kenneth Bowen and Robert Gisevius and former officers Anthony Villavaso
and Robert Faulcon for decades when other officers who engaged in similar
conduct on the Danziger Bridge but cut deals with prosecutors are
serving no more than eight years behind bars.
.
These through-the-looking-glass plea deals that tied the hands of this
court ... are an affront to the court and a disservice to the community,
he said.
.
Police gunned down 17-year-old James Brissette and 40-year-old Ronald
Madison, who were both unarmed, and wounded four others on Sept. 4, 2005,
less than a week after the storm devastated New Orleans. To cover it up,
the officers planted a gun, fabricated witnesses and falsified reports.
Defense attorneys have indicated they will appeal.
.
Engelhardt also criticized prosecutors for the different ways they charged
those who didnt cooperate with a Justice Department civil rights
investigation and those who did.
