I keep reading the angry articles in regard to Mr. Long's passing. I can understand the pain of losing a loved one and I can respect the grief that Melissa is dealing with, but is it necessary to try to bring down others due to that pain and grief? Judge Wattigny is a wonderful man that is highly respected by many in and outside of New Iberia. It is not going to solve anyones problems or make any case stronger by making statements that disrespect someone in our court system. Could it be because residence didn't want to see a place of business concerning voodoo to come in New Iberia? I just believe that there is more to this then just being mad that someone was released on bond. As for showing up in court without an attorney, when someone can not afford representation such as Mr. Paul you do what he did. You can't get an attorney unless the court assigns you to that office. So, stop taking steps and throwing mud ahead of the game. Everyone is angry that Mr. Long's life was taken in such a terrible way. The murderers will be punished for there actions. Trying to bring down Judge Wattigny is a waste of time.

RPaul was released on a bond that was set way too low for the charges levied against him, ie accessory to First Degree Murder.
Louviere was held on a bond that was $5,000 higher than Paul's, for charges of peeping tom and simple possession.
Logic shows that the peeping tom suspect was treated more harshly than the accessory to First Degree Murder suspect? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Are peeping tom charges MORE or LESS serious than acessory to First_Degree_Murder????? "

If someone is going to attack another person about their uncontrolled anger, then theat person should have their own anger under control first, don't you think?
I meant no disrespect and I do know what it's like to lose a family member to crime. I did not take my anger out on others, like Of_Course is doing. "

It is not just for someone, black or white, to be released on an extremely low bond when he or she is charged with accessory to First Degree Murder. That is a very serious charge and should bring with it a much higher bond amount. If the suspect can make the higher bond, good for him or her. But it should be very high, nonetheless.
Again, nothing offensive or racist said! "

Everyone should be full of anger and rage at the injustice being done in this case. A peeping tom gets bond that is $5,000 higher than someone who drove the get-away car in a first degree murder case?
That is totally absurd and sickening and the fact that you are not outraged says much to your character. What if it were your family member that was murdered? Would $10,000 bond be enough?
NOT! "

The two shooters are NOT out on bond. They are where they belong, behind bars. IPSO deputies have voiced their disguest at RPaul hanging on the streets, like a thug. So, it's not JUST me! My anger has to do with a man charged with a serious felony, with a criminal record, being let loose on the streets with such a low bond. "

HAD ENOUGH wrote on Jul 16, 2008 8:18 AM:
The two shooters told Rickey Paul and his girlfriend about what they had just done, when they got into Paul's car. His girlfriend VOLUNTARILY went to the police and gave a statement. I'm not sure why she is getting no praise for what she did. Obviously, her parents did a good job of instilling a sense of morals and values in her.
She has no reason to lie. She has nothing to gain or lose by coming forth and telling the truth. Why is it so hard for people to believe her statements? She is not the one with the criminal record. Rickey Paul is.
Never mind the fact that Rickey Paul cased the store with the two shooters, prior to the murder, on more than one occasion. How do you people not see "conspiracy" written all over that, is beyond me.
Technically, yes he is assumed innocent until proven guilty, by the justice system. However, he does have a criminal record and he is once again charged with a felony crime. That makes him a criminal. Plain and simple. "

He loved his family above all else. He gave his customers the respect that they deserved. He didn't look down on them because they were on hard times and had to pawn or sell something.
He had character. He was admired. He was loved and he is deeply missed. My world has a huge void with him gone!

It's also public record that Wattigny let Rickey Paul out on a $10,000 bond. In comparing the two rulings, Wattigny is putting more emphasis on a trespassing charge than he is on accessory to first degree murder. Oh, I have a near genius IQ, so try another percentage.

Mr. Brown preaches racism, hatred, and does nothing to help "his people" for the greater good.
