A state judge acquitted a man charged with manslaughter for a fatal shooting in a Gentilly townhouse after a one-day trial on Thursday.
Criminal District Court Judge Benedict Willard sided with Henry Wilson, who said that he shot in self defense after 26-year-old Billy Dukes pulled a gun on him in January 2016.
Wilson, a former bartender at Brennan’s Restaurant who now works at two other restaurants, was overcome with emotion after the verdict, said his defense attorney, Kevin Boshea. |

| New Orleans, where you can spend two years fighting the persecuting attorneys for your freedom after defending yourself from a doped up fruitcake who threatened to kill you. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
