The Jerry Baldwin Saga: 1998-2020

[California Cajun]

How many of these appel or Sup CT judges are LSUers???? Maybe I should have stayed in Law school and gotten the LSU bball coach to file a suit that talked about the pressure to resign because he was white and coached a mostly black bball team!!!!! What a joke!!!!

It sends a message that if you don't have a lot of money, go through the motions of hiring minority candidates but don't hire the minority candidate lest you risk a lawsuit for racism.

Nice going Jerry B., you idiot!

Before we make this an "LSU thing"... I want to remind everyone that Baldwin was hired... then fired... by the University of Louisiana System (i.e. the state of Louisiana), which means that any monies paid out are paid out of state funds.

That still doesn't mean that I want a piece of crud like Baldwin to get a DIME!

_ From the state bar judicial interest rate calculator

http://www.lsba.org/newintcalc.htm


08/19/2007 - 12/31/2007 $ 70,273.97(135 days @ $520.55/daily @ 9.500%/year)
01/01/2008 - 04/01/2008 $ 42,732.24(92 days @ $464.48/daily @ 8.500%/year)

For a total of $ 113,006.21 _

I believe you're wrong on the calculation. Legal interest runs from the date of judicial demand; not from the date of the entry of the judgment.

Hum? Against the State?

[Chris V.]

I'm not aware of any special law applicable to the calculation of legal interest in a judgment rendered against the state.

I am aware no judgment against the state (including interest) can be enforced unless sovereign immunity is waived. Generally speaking, although I admit this isn't my area of practice, judgments against the state are satisfied by way of special legislative appropriations

Law dork coming through...

La. R.S. 13:5112. Suits against the state or political subdivision; court costs; interest
...
C. Legal interest on any claim for personal injury or wrongful death shall accrue at six percent per annum from the date service is requested following judicial demand until the judgment thereon is signed by the trial judge in accordance with Code of Civil Procedure Article 1911. Legal interest accruing subsequent to the signing of the judgment shall be at the rate fixed by R.S. 9:3500.

Did anyone see the story on KATC? They mentioned that Baldwin has now won three times in court against UL, which is half of the wins he accumulated as head coach of the football team in three seasons. I thought that was pretty darn funny.

Hey, I thinks its neat when even a McNeese fan can chip in and help the Cajuns involving a discussion to beat back that idiot Baldwin.

Thanks... Cowboy!

Not to mention that the Trial Judge, who is black and an LSU law grad, threw the case out initially on a summary judgment (that ruling got reversed on appeal so it went back to the trial court for a trial).

Atta boy bummer! Way to show your true colors. This school has no sense of direction and enough of an image problem without clowns like you spouting off your stupidity on a daily basis. Some of you people just cannot help yourselves and get over your envy and hatred of that school to the east!!!! Just come out and say what you really want to say about baldwin. We all know what that is.
