Ascension Parish Sheriff candidate Matthews does mea culpa on Webre’s high school diploma; says LSP Capt. Belinda Murphy “blew a gasket” when learning of his possession of the Corder AG investigation files.

Louisiana State Police Captain Belinda Murphy.

The time has arrived for Segment Six (6) of our series on Ascension Parish Sheriff Candidate C. J. Matthews’ quest for election in the October 14, 2023 election.  Here it is:

Matthews, after initially issuing a formal apology to incumbent Sheriff Bobby Webre entailing his high school diploma, proceeds to outline the reaction of LSP Capt. Belinda Murphy once she uncovered Matthews’ possession of AG files pertaining to the AG’s Office’s investigation of former Ascension Parish Sheriff Deputy Fred Corder.   Murphy formalized her findings in this October 12, 2022 letter to Matthews indicating that LSP would conduct no investigationo into the Corder matter

As indicated early on in the video, and in fulfillment to our commitment to place on prominent display incumbent Sheriff Bobby Webre’s graduation certificate from East Ascension High School, here is that diploma on full display:

Now, from Murphy’s October 12, 2022 letter:

Although there are elements of LRS 14:81, Indecent Behavior with a Juvenile, there was no cooperation of the victim at the time that this incident was investigated by APSO or the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office.

As both Burns and Matthews point out, this statement is a flat-out lie!  Period.  Further, as Burns indicated, that must mean Santa Clause came in and fabricated this voluntary interview of the victim with APSO Lt. Kelly Brown in late June of 2018!

Now for an update on the table.  Here’s the finalized version of the document table:

    1. I don’t know. I only know I graduated May of 1981 at the age of 17. If he was 20 (or even 19) at graduation, I guess that means it took him a little longer than most students of that era.

  2. I admire Mr. Matthews for taking the high ground with his apology. As he promised. It is my opinion that Mr. Matthews has had the high ground all along.
