Trial Continues For JPSO Deputies Accused Of Fatally Shooting Man In Car

Testimony continues today in the manslaughter trial of two former Jefferson Parish deputies.

Isaac Hughes and Jonathan Louis are accused of using unjustified deadly force in the death of 32-year-old Daniel Vallee two-years ago in Marrero.

Vallee was sitting in a car outside a drug house and refused to get out. The deputies shot Vallee when he blew the horn.

On Thursday, the jury heard from a use-of-force expert who said the shooting was unjustified.

If they're found guilty, Louis and Hughes may face up to 40 years in prison.
