This video is inspired by the true story below: A Defense Department analyst and two Chinese nationals living in New Orleans are facing spying charges today for allegedly selling military secrets to the Chinese government. The FBI raided a home in an upscale, uptown New Orleans neighborhood today in connection with the espionage case. All three are accused of selling US data intended for Taiwan to the Chinese government in Beijing, federal law enforcement officials said. The Justice Department said Tai Shen Kuo, 58, and Yu Xin Kang, 33, both of New Orleans, have been charged with conspiracy to disclose national defense information to a foreign government. Defense Department analyst Gregg William Bergersen, 51, of Alexandria, Va., was charged in a separate complaint with conspiracy to disclose national defense information to persons not entitled to receive it. According to court documents filed by prosecutors, the criminal conduct spanned a two-year period from January 2006 to February 2008. Kuo, a naturalized US citizen and New Orleans businessman, gathered national defense information on behalf of the Chinese government. Bergersen, a weapons systems policy analyst at the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, an agency within the Department of Defense, was charged with being the source of the classified information collected by Kuo.

Desire Street: A True Story of Death and Deliverance in New Orleans

New Orleans Criminal Defense — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 18:03:59 +0000

Product Description

A searing anatomy of a New Orleans murder trial and a system of justice gone wrong.

In a New Orleans supermarket parking lot in the fall of 1984 ,two disparate lives become inextricably bound for the next fourteen years. The first, the life of Delores Dye, a white housewife and grandmother. The second, a young black man with a gun in hand. Moments following their maybe not so chance encounter, Mrs. Dye lay dead on the sunbaked macadam, and the killer had made off with her purse, her groceries, and her car. Four days later, following a tip, authorities arrested a known drug dealer and father of five named Curtis Kyles. Kyles would then be tried for Mrs. Dye’s murder an unprecedented five times, though he maintained his innocence throughout each trial. Convicted and sentenced to death in his second trial, he would spend fourteen years on death row. After a fifth jury was unable to reach a verdict, New Orleans Parish District Attorney Harry Connick, Sr., finally conceded defeat and dropped the murder charge.

But the case slowly yielded a deeper drama: The crime turned out to have been the side effect of an intricately plotted act of revenge. That police and prosecutors may have been complicit in the vengeance that framed Kyles cuts to the heart of a system of justice for Southern blacks in the era since lynch mobs were shamed into obsolescence. A compellingly written legal drama that has at its heart passionate intrigue and justice gone awry.

Amazon.com Review

“This much is certain and always was. That on a Thursday afternoon in late September 1984, a housewife named Delores Dye… ran afoul of a thief as she loaded a shopping cart of groceries into her car out front of a New Orleans supermarket.” So begins Jed Horne’s brisk, crisply written Desire Street: A True Story of Death and Deliverance in New Orleans, which follows the convoluted tale of how a small-time drug dealer and product of the New Orleans housing projects named Curtis Kyles, who was convicted, sentenced to death row, and finally exonerated in Dye’s grisly murder.

Rarely does any murder case appear as straightforward as the one against Curtis Kyles. The murder weapon, a .32-caliber pistol, was found in his apartment; the victim’s purse was discovered in a trash bag in front of his building; and a bag of cat food purchased on the day of Dye’s murder–the exact brand her husband said she always bought–was stashed under Kyles’s sink. The truth, of course, was not so simple. As subsequent trials revealed, Kyles’s conviction was the product of overzealous prosecution, an incompetent court-appointed lawyer, false eyewitness testimony, and, Horne argues, an attempted framing. In the end, after five trials and nearly 14 years, Kyles’s death sentence was overturned, and he was released from New Orleans prison in 1998. Horne, the city editor for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, doesn’t shy from colorful, sometimes lurid turns of phrase. But if Horne is a crime writer, he is also a journalist, and his detailed account of the unraveling of the case against Curtis Kyles makes a compelling case that a justice system that wrongly convicts men like Kyles and sentences them to death is broken and badly in need of repair. –Erica C.
