BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — An electronic ankle monitoring company could be facing charges after a Louisiana Supreme Court decision.
On June 5, the Louisiana Supreme Court filed to reinstate an indictment against American Electronic Monitoring. The company faces negligence charges, according to court documents.
In September 2021, deputies with the West Feliciana Sheriff’s Office were called to a domestic disturbance call in St. Francisville. Upon arrival, deputies found Peggy Rayburn, 70, and Marshall Rayburn, 63, dead.
Officials believe Marshall arrived at Peggy’s home uninvited and started arguing. Peggy’s neighbor, Lanie Cathey, attempted to separate the two before Marshall fired shots, striking Cathey in the arm and reportedly killing Peggy as well as himself.
Marshall was wearing an ankle monitor and was out on bond after being accused of raping Peggy.
American Electronic Monitoring was instructed to notify authorities if Marshall ever got near Peggy, but authorities were not informed.
In 2022, the West Feliciana District Attorney Sam D’Aquilla requested that the owner of American Electronic Monitoring, Van Hopkins, and an employee who was tasked to work Marshall’s case, Deborah Shirley, face negligent homicide charges.
Five of the seven Supreme Justices support the decision to reinstate the indictment.
