Finley told the panel he committed the offense during active addiction and said he had grown and learned while incarcerated. Staff said Finley had been at the facility since 2016, had not had a disciplinary write-up since 2004 and had completed his GED and prerelease coursework; staff recommended further programming before release. Panel members emphasized the need for substance-abuse treatment and an approved place to live before a supervised release is carried out.

The panel directed that Finley be recommended to the DOC Steve Hall substance-abuse program and to take victim-awareness and anger-management classes while enrolled. Panel members said Finley would be given six to nine months in the program to secure an approved residence plan; release would occur only after the residence check and program completion were confirmed.

Panel members welcomed his improved institutional conduct but noted law-enforcement opposition and the need for verifiable post-release housing.

Babineaux, who has served approximately 28 years, told the panel he felt remorse and described long-term alcoholism and subsequent completion of multiple programs in custody, including Living in Balance and Victim Impact. Carrie Myers of the Louisiana Parole Project informed the panel that the Parole Project accepted Babineaux as a client and would provide social-work evaluation, mentoring and connections to community resources in Sulphur, where Babineaux said he planned to live with his wife.

Family members and supporters told the panel Babineaux has steady family support and connections in the community. Panel members asked detailed questions about Babineaux's role in the offense, his acknowledgment of conduct and his ongoing sobriety plan; Babineaux said he intended to attend AA for the rest of his life and named a sponsor.

Panel members who voted to grant parole described Babineaux as sincerely remorseful and noted his exemplary disciplinary record and age as factors lowering recidivism risk. The grant included a special condition that Babineaux attend at least two AA meetings per week permanently, and to follow aftercare recommendations from the Parole Project. The panel recorded unanimous support among voting members present for release under these conditions.","A parole panel granted parole to Neil Babineaux into the Parole Project transition plan, adding a special condition that he attend at least two AA meetings weekly for life and comply with aftercare recommendations.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6072427,"Parole panel denies release for Ryan Hurd, cites distribution history and prosecutor opposition",854,4255000,5109000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3021616-db2370337c0280a3b259891f587a6804&start=4255&end=5109","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3021616-db2370337c0280a3b259891f587a6804/thumbnail_4255000.jpg","/articles/6072427/Louisiana/Parole-panel-denies-release-for-Ryan-Hurd-cites-distribution-history-and-prosecutor-opposition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6072427-f0085d2df4356fa4e2dee26de7552739/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137058&Signature=Bumopr7UZisgZRBBg50CXNty6h3Ok5NUfcCYB0a1UeEzAs2zeYD~~ClbD~61yFNDIIqwMhJuR4oybn4CA2Vi7NMvlc1C1rmzCwfsJx~A8SXAOT32pS1ANoY5q4CS087Lc~eB8PdlXHS-dOPHBVL1FMrqW~BMuUKapX4FqyAh-RakycUvZ3JX8u7zK8L3uasFN5mDeHJyymBuGwoLSb0p5fczRuuDbreO3sdstZtWrCKAvlDJj8K-AGtA9rsfFfF7hcmtHHcHDGympuubidS1JGWSt1pKSR8xSFWrbUvikmdbUjAtpcWp-ZztWey-SgUl5CTwejwmEqhEBvbkT1fIJw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Committee on Parole denied parole for Ryan Hurd after reviewing his record, institutional conduct and opposition from the Jefferson Parish district attorney’s office.

Staff told the panel Hurd had been at Raymond Laborde since February 2024, had no recent disciplinary write-ups and had completed several vocational certifications. Hurd told the panel he had sold marijuana in the past, expressed remorse and said he planned to live with his parents on release and to distance himself from prior contacts.

The Jefferson Parish ADA opposed parole, citing weapons and money recovered during one search and arguing the distribution conviction involved a sizable operation. Panel members asked Hurd about his role in distribution, weapon ownership and motivations; Hurd said he was not a user and described financial pressure from dog-breeding and job layoffs as a driver of his criminal activity.

Panel members concurred that Hurd would benefit from a long-term DOC substance-abuse program and prerelease steps but ultimately voted to deny parole, citing the seriousness of the distribution offenses and the record of repeated violations. The panel noted Hurd is nearing an earlier release date contingent on program completion and good-time accrual and urged him to complete recommended programming.","A parole panel denied parole for Ryan Hurd following testimony about large-scale marijuana distribution and law-enforcement opposition; panel members recommended substance-abuse programming before reconsideration.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6072431,"Panel denies parole for Patrick Haney; members split on rehabilitation and violence history",1852,2048000,3900000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3021616-db2370337c0280a3b259891f587a6804&start=2048&end=3900","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3021616-db2370337c0280a3b259891f587a6804/thumbnail_2048000.jpg","/articles/6072431/Louisiana/Panel-denies-parole-for-Patrick-Haney-members-split-on-rehabilitation-and-violence-history","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6072431-25cb4db8a33c0f799949cfb3e8110599/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137058&Signature=iKxkylYYl9NoEhwrFLo22kcVEv9bpnV8AtGi0cHk7dWcAI9i0RQA6v1p3VmV71qeoZPYS~jNW9r1BtoAGInLZVAJkhldr8VXP4cPR6HV2vuvgKItGyo9D~gRq3SXf8lt-HfZFz3kg8XJOq3N3nyfAgFX044aDLGIWxVWAfG93TG~HoWL8b7zhLQqdNgCHGrv3bFry8yfQbbBMvJX0ikRGvAm7RHe1AL9QtFOEHtuHPbK30-T6C2FxsHis4emQ3MPzHiFHWPiKqGx577q9-YpJWd01IIMWyR5VycDkqvsqk03hWmI9G8rlscbAys1skLUIKh0NmSCHCuiK8CYsus2hg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Committee on Parole at Raymond Laborde Correctional Facility denied parole for Patrick Haney after a rehearing in which the board split 2–1 on whether to grant parole with conditions.

Haney, a third-class offender in the record, told the panel he participated in the bank robbery for which he was sentenced and expressed remorse in a prepared statement. He described long-term substance addiction, completion of multiple educational programs and treatment classes while incarcerated, and said he had enrolled in further programming. His institutional record and program participation were summarized by staff and by Carrie Myers of the Louisiana Parole Project, who said the Parole Project accepted Haney and would provide mentoring, case management and substance-abuse evaluation if parole were granted.

Family members and project staff told the panel Haney has a support network in Zachary and potential employers and volunteer placements. His attorney, Micah Sloan of the Parole Project, urged the panel to consider Haney’s rehabilitation, formal education and sustained sobriety efforts.

Panel members discussed Haney’s extensive pre-incarceration violent history, including convictions and sentences in the mid-1990s and an aggravated record before the bank robbery. One panel member read comments from the district attorney’s office noting the underlying charges and recommending that Haney serve at least half his sentence before consideration for release.

Two panel members said they would grant parole conditioned on Haney’s completion of a long-term Department of Corrections substance-abuse program and participation in the Parole Project, with special conditions including aftercare recommendations and a community-service requirement to speak with at-risk youth. One panel member voted to deny parole, citing Haney’s violent prior convictions and the DA’s opposition. Because the board requires a unanimous vote to grant parole in this instance, the single dissent meant parole was denied.

The panel instructed staff to facilitate Haney's access to the recommended substance-abuse program so he can reapply after program completion.","A parole panel denied parole for Patrick Haney after split votes: two panel members recommended conditional parole tied to long-term substance-abuse programming, while one member voted to deny, citing a substantial violent history and prosecution comments.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6072437,"Parole panel opts not to revoke supervision for man with domestic assault conviction, sets conditions",782,723000,1505000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3021616-db2370337c0280a3b259891f587a6804&start=723&end=1505","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3021616-db2370337c0280a3b259891f587a6804/thumbnail_723000.jpg","/articles/6072437/Louisiana/Parole-panel-opts-not-to-revoke-supervision-for-man-with-domestic-assault-conviction-sets-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6072437-647c0ae95d2ef4065a1682486f0c0b72/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137058&Signature=MLM5bItCT4R7Uzeeq-eAmzDnFagsperKFliFb~v0Q9YYzz5tzAskNLAy8zZdoAvqp5rOLLkDlJyFoh9H1l8nX38H8jwLcaUiv~xYw09JxSm5zr7h-cgxaaxdZ6TbWgg96TxGOTCaei7ej2QGqniLlewTXkltGkfdZ2OyzhFs6qAFE~TWeh90ZB6Uy8bzA89XJtweeX8q0sxAAmq8nhCpY0NG95jWQ8Tow~WyH~X8l96tAJkRmm-9nJ0OrVqwHLKkohMOpNlZl-Vt73-XK8HIAfEBtUQW5ZlVKTRrGLvJP6Uk5NLqaqy4KJ9FGSYb-Ra092ewh0ka6bHcP~-VeBsQcg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Committee on Parole, convening at Raymond Laborde Correctional Facility, voted not to revoke supervision for a parolee identified in the record as Mr. Tyler after a revocation hearing on an assault conviction.

The panel heard that Tyler had pleaded guilty to “assault causing bodily injury and family violence,” conviction number 1846116, and had been sentenced to 23 days in jail. During his statement, Tyler told the panel, “The incident was between me … we had a little misunderstanding. … I did grab her face.” He also said his wife had told officers she did not want to press charges and that she wanted him home.

Board members reviewed the arrest report and medical observations presented by staff, which described scratches between the victim’s eyebrows, swelling to one eye and documented redness. The panel noted there was recorded victim reluctance to cooperate and that the state — not the victim — pursues domestic-violence charges.

After questions from panel members about Tyler’s employment, interstate compact status and housing plans, the panel voted to refrain from revoking supervision. The board’s decision was conditioned on an approved residence plan: if an approved residence is verified, the supervision will not be revoked; if Tyler seeks to return to Texas the panel said he would be responsible for extradition costs, set at $1,262.50 and to be placed on a payment plan. The panel explained the interstate-compact process can take roughly 60–90 days and that an approved residence must be verified before release is executed.

Panel members recorded a majority ruling not to revoke supervision (two votes not to revoke, one vote to revoke). The panel directed staff to verify the proposed residence plan and to coordinate interstate-compact processing and any payment arrangements before any transfer or release occurs.

The panel also told Tyler he should contact the proposed host in Shreveport and provide necessary contact information and documentation to staff so the residence can be checked. The hearing concluded with the panel leaving Tyler in custody until the residence plan is approved and interstate-compact steps are complete.

Votes at a glance: panel majority vote not to revoke supervision; tally recorded in the hearing as two not to revoke, one to revoke. The hearing record does not list a formal motion mover/second. The panel included an explicit special condition that extradition costs for returning to Texas ($1,262.50) will be set up on a payment plan if applicable.","A three-member parole panel voted 2–1 not to revoke supervision for a man who pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily injury and family violence, but made release contingent on an approved residence plan and other conditions including payment of extradition costs if he returns to Texas.","actionData","errors"]
