Dear
Followers of Helen Prejean,
We are murder victims’ families and
Helen Prejean makes life difficult for us. What if you have a family member
murdered yourself? We love you to tell the truth, this woman is wicked and she
does not love us. Remember 10 years ago, the last person executed in Louisiana
was a pedophile. What if it was your child raped and murdered?
THE PEDO OF LOUISIANA: GERALD BORDELON
(EXECUTED ON JANUARY 7, 2010)
On this date, January 7, 2010, Gerald Bordelon was executed by lethal injection in Louisiana for the November 15, 2002 murder of 12-year-old Courtney LeBlanc.
Summary: Bordelon was sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty in 1982 to sexual battery, and he was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his 1990 conviction for forcible rape and two counts of aggravated crime against nature. While on parole, he met Jennifer Kocke over the Internet and married her a year later. They separated after 12 year old Courtney LeBlanc and her sister told their mother that Bordelon touched them inappropriately. Bordelon abducted LeBlanc in 2002 from his estranged wife's trailer with a knife from the kitchen, took her to Mississippi where he forced her to perform oral sex on him, then drove back to Louisiana and strangled her. When LeBlanc's body was found 11 days later, she was wearing only a pair of shorts and one tennis shoe. Bordelon led police to her body in a wooded area by the Amite River in Livingston Parish, about 20 miles from Baton Rouge. A state Supreme Court opinion upholding Bordelon’s right to waive all appeals says Bordelon had a “diagnostic profile of sexual sadism” and he told psychiatrists his crimes involved an escalating pattern of violence.
Kocke was later convicted of child abuse by a Mississippi jury for failing to keep Bordelon away from her children. Kocke received a suspended five-year sentence, with five years of probation.

From the Publisher
Was Louisiana Nun’s Dead Man Walking An Earlier Million Little Pieces?
NEW IBERIA, LA. 3/9/06 So says D.D. de Vinci, author of recently published true
story, "Dead Family Walking: The Bourque Family Story of Dead Man
Walking". From the first page turned, when a mother wakes from a 3 a.m.
scream heard miles away, de Vinci wields your heart in the portrayal of a
family’s perpetual suffering resulting from a Catholic nun’s prior relationship
with an executed killer that inspired her exaggeration-filled book, "Dead
Man Walking,"( written by Sister Helen Prejean ) which the writer claims
destroyed the lives of an American Family. On November 5, 1977 the Bourque’s
teenage daughter, Loretta, was found murdered in a trash pile near the city of
New Iberia, La, lying side-by-side near her boyfriend with three well-placed
bullet holes behind each head. No apparent motive. Very little clues. While the
devout-Catholic Bourque family fought to piece their lives back together after
the capture and trials of the killers of their daughter, they suddenly faced an
unexpected opponent, Sister Prejean, who would use their story in a
religious-political spin that would take the world by surprise. Prejean’s award
winning book later published in 1993, based on the crimes and executions of
Elmo Patrick Sonnier and Robert Lee Willie, instantly catapulted her to
international fame and recognition. Her polemic defense and arguments against
the death penalty appeared to be her main inspirations for writing the book,
but details fueled by a tape recorded conversation with a Catholic priest and
an interview with a homicide detective led de Vinci to a conspiracy theory
which readers and maybe Hollywood may find intriguing.
Almost three decades after the murders and thirty exhaustive months of
research later, de Vinci’s fact-filled "Dead Family Walking" sheds
the truth about the early life of the murderer-rapist, Elmo Sonnier, who
remains buried next to bishops, priests and nuns on sacred ground in a Baton
Rouge cemetery and details a forbidden death row intimacy no one was supposed
to know about.
"In the tortured logic peculiar to those in love"(excerpt from
"Dead Family Walking"), de Vinci’s investigative research indicates
that Prejean’s book is not honest. According to a 2004 interview with Detective
Russell Duplantis, who spent over an hour at Louisiana’s Angola State
Penitentiary thirty days prior to his execution on April 6,1984, Sonnier
revealed shocking information about his relationship with Prejean that still
stuns the New Iberia homicide detective to this day. Duplantis is quoted from
"Dead Family Walking": "All these years, I have kept this
information to myself, but now it needs to come out. The Bourques got a raw
deal from the Church and Prejean. They had to go through much pain and anguish.
Sister Prejean has been using the Bourques for her anti-death penalty and got
away with it! The public needs to know that she and Elmo fell in love."
Non-fictional facts disputed. "Prejean wrote in ‘Dead Man Walking:
An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States,’ that she was
at Angola for the entire evening of Sonnier’s last day alive," says de
Vinci, a Louisiana writer. " She even mentions the exact time on her
wristwatch as events occurred up until his execution." Not so, according
to incarcerated former Gov. Edwin Edwards in a jail-house letter written from a
Dallas Texas prison in February of 2004, confirming the validity of a
twenty-year old memorandum which stated that he called Angola Warden Maggio on
the night of the execution at 8:20 p.m., from the Governor’s mansion in Baton
Rouge with Prejean at his side. But on page 88 of Prejean’s book, she wrote
that she looked at her watch at 8:40 p.m. next to Sonnier’s cell–which was
twenty minutes after the call from the Governor. A well-known fact that cannot
be disputed is the one-hour drive from the Governor’s mansion to Angola.
"Who was telling the truth? Who was lying?" writes de Vinci. In a
time when the literary world of non-fiction is under microscope, "Dead
Family Walking" reveals an explosive 1978 courtroom document that defies
the ending of Sister Prejean’s book (another Oprah guest) which potentially
makes her use of the Lord’s Prayer in her finale one of the most disrespectful
profanations history will ever record, and certainly makes "Dead Man
Walking" compete with James Frey’s "Million Little Pieces" in
their race towards deception.
From the Author
"DeVinci suggests that Prejean's words and writings are,at best,a
fountain of naive information,and,at worst,part of a deceptive attempt by the
Catholic Church to carry out its anti-death penalty stand." --Associated

About the Author
D. D. deVinci is a freelance writer with 25 years experience in the
publishing industry. Author of more than a dozen books, he lives with his wife
near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and is presently working on an action adventure
novel, Runaway Computer, scheduled for publication in 2006.
Today January 7, we
will instead remember Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom, a
slain couple from Knoxville, Tennessee.
Better remember the murdered victims than worship murderers.
While the thief on the cross found pardon in the sight of God - ‘Today you will be with Me in Paradise’ - that pardon did not extend to eliminating the consequences of his crime - ‘We are being justly punished, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds.’ (Luke 23:39-43)". Neither God nor Jesus nor the Holy Spirit nor the prophets nor the apostles ever spoke out against the civil authorities’ use of executions in deserving cases - not even at the very time of Jesus’ own execution when He pardoned the sins of the thief, who was being crucified alongside Him. Indeed, quite the opposite. Their biblical support for capital punishment is consistent and overwhelming. Furthermore, Jesus never confuses the requirements of civil justice with those of either eternal justice or personal relations.
