An officer apprehended a wanted suspect last night in downtown Thibodaux, following a near-deadly situation.
“I remember his eyes. “ Officer Carlos Vacante said. “They were cold, the eyes of a killer.”

Thibodaux’s Ministerial Alliance held a conference against the death penalty this morning.
The Ministerial Alliance’s spokesman Rev. Stuart Alder declared that while, not soft on crime they do not believe that the death penalty is just punishment for violent crimes.They said that several independent studies show that the death penalty does not deter crimes, but rather breeds more violence
Rev. Stuart Alder stated that they have studies that show average American children see 200,000 acts of violence by the age of sixteen. Ministerial Alliance thinks that America sold the people the bill of goods causing them to believe that the death penalty can deter crime. While frightened by the acts of violence of society have no real deterrent to it, and have yet to reach the deeper causes.
“If we’re really serious about stopping crime and violence, we have to recognize and correct its root causes: poverty, racial and sexual discrimination, broken homes, and unloved children.” Reverend Alder said. ”Also drugs and alcohol. That’s what’s responsible for most crimes. And television.”
Reverend Alder said the Ministerial Alliance also finds sentencing
