      Shit, this guy pretty much got away with it.

      A white man who admitted shooting three black men in a racist attack in Algiers shortly after Hurricane Katrina died Feb. 19, less than a week after he was sentenced to spend 10 years in federal prison, officials said Wednesday...

      In 2014, U.S. District Judge Mary Ann Vial Lemmon ruled that Bourgeois would not be able to withstand the rigors of a trial. However, three years later, a Tulane University psychiatrist determined that Bourgeois — out on bail at the time — had regained the ability to go through a trial.

      From what I can tell, the time line is: run a fascist death squad in 2005, not be charged with anything until 2010, maybe locked up until 2014 (but likely out on bail), for sure out on bail from about 2014-2017, go to trial sometime in 2018 and die before you actually go to prison in early 2019.

      If you can murder (at least) three people and spend what looks like a majority of your days outside of custody, that's a pretty sweet deal all told.
