Rogers Lacaze has filed judicial and ethical misconduct charges against Judge Marullo

and his court reporter Andree Sullivan for the destruction of his court record. Rogers has
days of missing transcripts from his record which were vital to his appeal to the supreme
court about his trial. The arrest of Rogers defense attorney Willie Turk during his trial is
not transcribed in his record but the arrest during trial is valid reasons for Rogers to have
concern for further court proceedings that may mention this issue upon further appeals.

Judge Marullo and his court reporter Andree Sullivan are in violation of a supreme court
order to turn over audio tapes from Rogers trial to his defense. A law clerk at Yale named
Jorge Baron assisted Rogers defense attorney Clide Smith to retrieve the court ordered
tapes but said the scheduling difficulties and inattentive manner to abide by the court
order by Judge Marullo's court reporter made it impossible to retrieve the court ordered
evidence. The court order has not yet been abided by.

Judge Marullo allowed the prosecution to tell the jury under the "law of principals" that
Rogers must be found guilty as the state told the jury Rogers was in commission of a
robbery when the 3 victims in this case lost their lives. Rogers was not, tried, convicted,
or sentenced on any charges of robbery, only the 3 counts of first degree murder. There
was no robbery charge given to the jury to consider convicting on. Judge Marullo
allowing this was also detrimental to the case of Rogers Lacaze.

Judge Marullo failed to take appropriate action to issue warrants for subpoenaed
witnesses that did not show up to testify at the trial on behalf of Rogers Lacaze, one
witness was a nurse from the jail who treated Rogers for the beating by the Orleans
Parish officers that beat him in the interrogation room as his mother sat down the
hallway waiting to hear the out come of the questioning of her son. This witness was
called but had not appeared and the court was told she was in route, but Judge Marullo
did not ask she be called again under the subpoena in the trial for 3 murdered victims.
The neglect to bring her before the courts by Judge Marullo was detrimental to the case
of Rogers Lacaze.

Rogers Lacaze has new evidence that was not available at his trial because of the
expeditious manner in which the case was prosecuted in, this is a petition to have Judge
Marullo recused from the case of Rogers Lacaze so no further detrimental harm may
result in future proceedings of Rogers post conviction appeals process. The forcible
recusal is necessary to ensure Rogers Lacaze a full and impartial appeal.
