This is what they were doing to us.
It is taking them (the FBI) a long time but they are doing it.
I do not yet see the names I want to see in there.... but we will.
"Manny" is the Judge over Scott's case.

OH! and today was Scott's court date.  Shawn called them with Dr orders for NO TRAVEL and they said they did not care.  They said if he did not show they would put out a bench warrent.

God's got it!  Nothing we can do about this so only He can take care of it for us.

State District Judge Wayne G. Cresap of St. Bernard Parish was taken into federal custody late Friday and has been charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, federal authorities said.

U.S. Attorney Jim Letten said late Friday that the arrest is the result of "an ongoing corruption investigation by the FBI and U.S. attorney's office."

Letten would not provide details of the investigation, but a news release issued late Friday said, "Cresap entered into an illegal agreement with unnamed lawyers in which Cresap accepted money to convert secured bonds to unsecured personal surety bonds, thereby allowing the releases of charged individuals on signatures, and without collateral security."

According to an affidavit by Special Agent Todd Goodson of the FBI, investigators interviewed Cresap in a public parking lot where he "admitted that he accepted the money in exchange for converting the bonds on numerous occasions."

A representative for a jailed suspect would arrange a cash payment to an unnamed lawyer who would split the money with the judge in return for Cresap's signature on an unsecured personal surety bond that would allow the defendant to be released from jail.

The scheme to accept money to effectively release suspects from jail "deprived citizens of his honest services in the course of his official duties," according to the charges against him.

At 7:30 p.m., Letten said Cresap remained in custody pending a bail hearing, but he would not say where. He said Cresap was taken into custody Friday afternoon by FBI agents.

If indicted and convicted, Cresap faces a maximum prison term of five years and a $250,000 fine. He also could be ordered to pay restitution, according to the news release.

Cresap, 62, has presided over the 34th Judicial District's Division C since October 1999, when he beat Gregory Noto in a runoff to fill the term of Judge Melvyn Perez, who died in April 1999.

Cresap, a Democrat from Poydras, was elected to a full six-year term in October 2002 and was re-elected without opposition in October 2008.

Before winning office, Cresap was a longtime lawyer in St. Bernard Parish. He also served as St. Bernard's representative to the Regional Planning Commission from 1992-97.

The state Supreme Court suspended Cresap without pay for 30 days in 2006 for violating judicial conduct rules in connection with a 2002 hearing on the Department of Natural Resources' request to remove a fellow St. Bernard judge from presiding at trial over parish oyster harvesters' claims that wetlands restoration projects destroyed their oyster beds.

The court ruled that Cresap failed to remain neutral, had improper private communications with a state official and verbally abused a Department of Natural Resources attorney during the three-day hearing. Cresap ultimately denied the motion to remove Judge Manny Fernandez from the case.

Cresap apologized to the Supreme Court and said he lost control of the 2002 hearing, but that he learned from the experience.
