Mark and anyone wanting information:

The indictments in this case were dismissed, not due to the lack of evidence or problems with the investigators, but because of a procedural issue with the prosecuting attorney. The suggestion was made that, “apparently the point of the leak was so dr john dehaan and bobby sandoval a rapides parish deputy sheriff would know which story to pitch at trial.” (/wesawthat.blogspot.com/2006/04/judge-protects-constitutional-rights.html) According to the ruling the district attorney released information obtained during the Grand Jury proceedings to a detective and outside expert hire by the District Attorney. It was Louisiana’s laws as to the dissemination of Grand Jury information that the judge cited as the reason for his ruling. He also directed that because the two individuals have been tainted with this information they are bared from testifying in the future in this case.

I have no idea as this being a good case, bad case or somewhere in between. I just want those reviewing the information posted to have a good set of facts. This case revolves around a mother, who at three in the afternoon left a 10, 6, and 3 alone in a house to run errands. When she returned home the fire had taken place and the children were dead.
