Ms. India describes public defender pressure in Judge Burris’ courtroom culminating in Parker-Brown’s permanent ban (overturned by First Circuit 129 days later).

22nd JDC Judge (and candidate for Louisiana Supreme Court) William “Billy” Burris responds to a question by Sound Off Louisiana‘s Robert Burns at the meeting of the Baton Rouge Press Club of Monday, April 20, 2026 regarding his holding of community activist Belinda Parker Brown in “constructive contempt” of his court.  In responding to the question, Burris conveniently omitted (totally) the fact that, on September 7, 2023, he “permanently banned” Parker-Brown from ever appearing in his courtroom again “for life.”  His action, however, was quickly overturned by the First Circuit Court of Appeal on January 11, 2024 (only 129 days later!), which ruled that he had no authority to impose such a “broad restriction” on Parker-Brown.  Perhaps such outlandish abuse of judicial authority has contributed heavily to what his opponent, Blair Downing Edwards, has cited as an astounding 42 percent rate of overturn by the First Circuit.

When we concluded our most recent feature entailing Louisiana Supreme Court candidate Judge William “Billy” Burris banning community activist Belinda Parker-Brown from his courtroom for life, we were excited to report the following:

Interestingly enough, the initial defendant in the whole matter….. who ultimately had her charges dropped by the prosecution, has also indicated a desire to, along with Parker-Brown, appear on Sound Off Louisiana to state first-hand what all she asserts happened during her prosecution.  We look very forward to having that opportunity very soon!

Well, that “very soon” is the very next day as Ms. India was very anxious to tell her side of the story on this matter, and here it is:

This is a video blog, and we believe the above video speaks for itself, so with its publication, we consider this feature a wrap!

  1. Those that listen to this video from Sound Off Louisiana! I pray now you get a better understanding of how Judge Burris act in court and out of court that’s why it is imperative that you don’t vote for him taking a seat on the Supreme Court he’s not worthy he’s prejudice. He’s racist and he’s one-sided in his so called conservative ways.
