The Trial of Gerard Dugué (Day 5)
Mistrial! Kelly KO's Bernstein

January
27, 2012, Los Angeles, California--"Clobbering" Claude Kelly, defense attorney for retired New Orleans
Police Department (NOPD) Sgt. Gerard Dugué, convinced U.S. District Judge Kurt Engelhardt (one of the most outstanding
jurists to ever grace the bench) to declare a mistrial in the government's counterfeit case against Gerard the Good! Of course,
this was all to the chagrin of the utterly embarrassed "Embattled" Barbara "Bobbi" Bernstein.
.
As a last-ditched effort to score at least one victory on the judicial scorecard Bernstein
for a brief moment let her guard down, and an alert, aggressive "Clobbering" Claude Kelly delivered the final knockout
punch, sending Bernstein flailing to the canvass. (Not a pretty sight.)
.
Dugué
took the stand in his own defense. Naturally, he trumpeted that he did not participate in any cover-up; was not present at
any "secret meeting"; and did not know any of the cops he was supposedly covering for. This is not surprising in
that it is standard operating procedure to have as in-house investigators persons unknown to the targets of the investigation.
Without a doubt, what Dugué says has a resounding ring of truth.
.
And
on a similar note, our hearts go out to justice-loving Judge Kurt Engelhardt as he has had to endure listening to a parade
of lying ex-officers as they disgraced the witness stand, as well as all that his hallowed courtroom stands for. God bless
you, Your Honor, Judge Engelhardt, sir. Lovers of truth and fairness everywhere very much appreciate how you've handled yourself
in such a judicious and professional manner. You have most assuredly dispensed justice. Kudos to you, sir. Bravo!
.
Now back to Bad News Bobbi Bernstein.
.
This
woman singlehandedly botched the U.S. Justice Department's fake case against Gerard the Good, and in the process wasted tons
of tax-payer money. (Not a good thing for democratic President Barack Obama in an election year!)
.
Bernstein Blows It: In his brilliance, Judge Engelhardt apparently made it very
clear that certain cases Dugué worked on were off limits. The prosecution couldn't wait to get their grubby little
hands on these cases so they could misconstrue as many facts as they possibly could, and confuse the jury in the process.
Just as Dugué's computer was completely clean and clear of any incriminating evidence when the FBI made a surprise
attack and ceased it, Dugué's record in all of his past cases is undeniably impeccable.
.
Still, in a particularly sinister move, Bad News Bobbi tried to slip the case of Raymond
Robair past eagled-eyed Judge Engelhardt, and introduce it into the mix.
.
"In
a voice audible to the jury," writes the Picayune, "Bernstein said: ‘Get me Robair'--a reference
to the case file of Raymond Robair, who was beaten to death by police in July 2005. Dugué was the lead investigator
on Robair's death and deemed that the killing was justified. Years later, Dugué later came under scrutiny in the Danziger
case and federal investigators opened a probe into Robair's death....Two officers were convicted last year in federal court
of beating Robair to death and covering it up."
.
Seemingly working
in tandem with The Times-Picayune, the prosecution got this case out into the court of public opinion, consequently
we all now know about the Robair case. But, as is the case with the Danziger Bridge incident, Dugué was not a party
to the Robair cover-up. He had nothing to do with it, hence, the reluctant Picayune confession: "Dugué
was not charged in the case." But that sneaky Bobbi Bernstein wanted to download a mind virus into the collective
thought of the jury.
.
She even turned her back to the defense table
when she uttered those fateful words, "Get me Robair." But "Clobbering" Claude Kelly wasn't about to let
take the blow beneath the belt without counterpunching. "As soon as Bernstein mentioned Robair," reports Picayune,
"Kelly objected." What happened next? "Engelhardt excused the jury, and Kelly argued that the very mention
of the name Robair was prejudicial. Engelhardt agreed." Lights out.
.
The
Louisiana "Weakly"?: Throughout the entire sham trial of retired Sgt. Gerard Dugué New Orleans'
own Black newspaper--the Louisiana Weekly--has been strangely silent. This eerie silence has prompted a growing number
of people to think that the name should be changed to the Louisiana Weakly as the weekly rag has no backbone. Instead
of getting important Black news out to the local African American community, they spinelessly act as if they've blacked out!
