What really happened to Selonia Reed?
Judge William Dykes of the 21st District Court sentenced Reginald Lathan Reed, 60, to life in prison without the possibility of parole or probation. Six minutes earlier, Defense Council Vanessa Williams claimed a juror disobeyed the judge’s orders and tried to learn more about the trial from the internet.
Justice for Selonia Reed remains elusive
On Mother’s Day, the bondsman got Reginald Reed out of the Tangipahoa Parish Prison and drove him to the Winn Dixie in Amite. Due to restrictions imposed during the pandemic, the sheriff’s office allowed only bondsmen in and out of the prison. The agent told me later that she was unaware of the evidence against the man or the rape charges filed against him in an unrelated case.
