Katherine Conner is a Katrina victim who was swindled by a unlicensed contractor from Mississippi with whom she contracted for home repairs. She cancelled a check she wrote to the contractor that was $3,500 more than the contract amount for home repairs that are still not finished. She expected the contractor to give her a correct bill. Instead of receiving justice, Katherine was indicted for theft of services and required to pay 70% of her income each month in probation fees and restitution. Over the course of time, Katherine got behind in her court-ordered payments and was told that she had until June 2013 to either pay $3,000 in overdue fees or face three years of hard labor in prison. Katherine received some donations toward her probation and borrowed the rest. Now she struggles to pay her monthly probation and restitution fees PLUS repay her loan. Katherine complained about her civil matter with the contractor being treated like a criminal matter, and she feels her teenage son was targeted for wrongful prosecution as a result.
Life is extremely challenging for Katherine Conner and her son, Matthew Moore. Meanwhile, their prosecutor continues to wreck havoc on the lives of black people in Louisiana. District Attorney Sam D’Aquilla had Herman Wallace re-indicted for murder a few days after he was released from 41 years of solitary confinement in Angola Prison. Wallace, one of the Angola 3, probably died immediately upon hearing the news in hospice care that he was due back in court in December 2013.
“I say he is a murderer, and he is not innocent,” District Attorney Sam D’Aquilla said. “The conviction was overturned because the federal judge perceived a flaw in the indictment — not his murder conviction.”D’Aquilla said Wallace's attorney Nicholas J. Trenticosta, of New Orleans, was wrong when he said Tuesday that Wallace is “a free man, and he’s innocent.”
