Louisiana staged accidents

The one attorney involved in the Louisiana staged truck accident scheme who was indicted and subsequently pleaded guilty still does not know his fate.

Danny Keating was to be sentenced Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, but it has been postponed.

Sentencing has also been put on hold for Damian Labeaud, the on-the-ground ringleader who choreographed the collisions between cars full of individuals and (mostly) trucks.

Thursday was going to be a big day in the history of the Louisiana staged accident case: A ringleader was going to be sentenced.

But that has been pushed to Dec. 7, when now two key players in the scam are to learn their sentences.

Damian Labeaud, who court documents show directed much of the on-the-ground planning for the staged collisions with trucks in the New Orleans area, was to be sentenced in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.

The three defendants sentenced were Lucinda Thomas, 67; Mary Wade, 58; and Judy Williams, 62.
