Jacques Morial Gets Home Detention

According to the T-P, the saga of Jacques Morial has finally come to an end:

Jacques Morial, the younger brother of former New Orleans mayor and current National Urban League President Marc Morial, was sentenced Wednesday to six months of home confinement and three years of probation for failing to file federal income tax returns for three years.

The sentence, imposed by U.S. District Judge Mary Ann Vial Lemmon, brought a quiet end to a controversial investigation that began in 2004, when armed federal agents used a battering ram to knock down the door of the younger Morial's French Quarter townhouse so they could execute a search warrant.


If everyone, who failed to pay taxes, had their front doors knocked down with battering rams, there would be a stampede at Home Depot.
