Since there wasn't 'sufficient proof', and since the law carries a presumption in favor of allowing candidacy for office so that the decision is left up to the people (voters), the Court ruled the way it did. Will be interesting to see what the State Supreme Court does, if anything. - Umm...yes.

The Appellate decision clearly found that there wasn't sufficient proof that the terms of Broussard's guilty plea constituted a felony under Louisiana law. The opinion was embarassingly hollow. - Umm...wrong Sat, 20 Feb 2010 22:15:29 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5743-appeals-clears-way-for-council-candidate#comment-5961 Interesting reporting, but the headline is misleading. The Appeals Court clearly ruled that Broussard isn't a felon under Louisiana law. That's one of the reasons he won the Appeal. - Umm...

It is a felony but not a felony felony. - DG Sat, 20 Feb 2010 03:04:48 +0100
