More on the the Killing of 6-Year-Old Jeremy Mardis -- Marksville, Louisiana
That old song “The Night the Lights Went out In Georgia” keeps playing in my mind when reading about the small town of Marksville, Louisiana.

^ Those are the two Marksville deputy city marshals who killed Jeremy Mardis and critically injured his dad Chris Few
Stafford and Greenhouse are going down, but they’re not the only ones complicit in the killing of Jeremy, in my opinion.
Mayor Lemoine cut the city budget for Marksville (pop. 5,500) last year and also cut the salary of Judge Piazza. Piazza has presided over the court for two decades. Judge Piazza was pissed off and filed suit against the Mayor.
Piazza’s longtime ward marshal Voinche (a bus driver who had a staff of 1.5 to serve subpoenas, warrants, evictions) then purchased two old police cruisers and hired a moonlighting police officer and a moonlighting city marshal from another ward to start patrolling the streets. Both have concerning records and Stafford was actually defended by Judge Piazza in one of the two rape complaints filed against him.
