Marksville has a police force. There was no reason for a shadow police force to be established, except to make money for the court and the judge. Voinche’s sudden expansion of his office and its duties was not coordinated with the Marksville PD nor the mayor. Voinche’s only response is that Louisana law gave him the power.
The Law: The marshal is the executive officer of the court; he shall execute the orders and mandates of the court and in the execution thereof, and in making arrests and preserving the peace, he has the same powers and authority of a sheriff. B. The marshal may appoint one or more deputy marshals having the same powers and authority as the marshal, but the marshal shall be responsible for their actions… http://law.justia.com/codes/louisiana/20...rs-13-1881
I think Voinche could and probably should face some charges in relation to Jeremy’s death since he, according to that same law, is responsible for the actions of his appointed deputy marshals.
His deputy marshals chased down a man with whom Greenhouse had a personal beef, shot into a moving vehicle, unloaded on cornered unarmed citizens, killed a little boy, and then lied about what happened.
The truth surrounding the shooting of Chris Few and Jeremy Mardis is only known because an on-duty Marskville Police Officer responded to the incident in time to catch the shooting on body cam.
