Court overturns Assumption shooter s drug and weapons convictions

Court overturns Assumption shooter’s drug and weapons convictions A court has overturned drug and weapons convictions for a Belle Rose man convicted in a shooting that left one man dead and another critically injured three years ago.  An Assumption Parish jury found Kirby Thomas, 42, guilty in 2018 of attempted manslaughter, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a schedule II controlled dangerous substance.  After a judge sentenced Thomas to 20 years in prison on the attempted manslaughter charge, 10 years on the weapons charge and five years on the drug charge, Thomas appealed to the 1st Circuit Court of Appeal in Baton Rouge. Thomas argued there wasn’t enough evidence to convict him of attempted manslaughter because he acted in self-defense.

Naquail Weaver wasn’t expecting to be home with his family for Christmas. The 22-year-old was in East Baton Rouge Parish Prison, held on a $3,000 bail with expectations of a release sometime in early January.  But Weaver got to spend the holidays with his fiancée and his 3-month-old son after students from LSU’s Democracy at Work paid his bond on the morning of Dec. 25.  Weaver was one of six prisoners the organization freed by using profits from t-shirts it sold on Etsy.  “Sometimes I still think, ‘I’m not supposed to be home,’” Weaver said. “But God answered my prayers and those people came through.”
