Johnston St. Billboard Calls Out Judge Edward Rubin To ‘ Please Get It Right This Time’ In Seth Fontenot Case

Seth Fontenot's re-sentencing will take place this Thursday.

Fontenot was convicted of manslaughter and aggravated battery for shooting and killing 15-year-old Austin Rivault, and injuring two of Rivault’s friends. He received a sentence of three years in prison with all but 13 months suspended. Fontenot’s lawyer, Tommy Guilbeau, filed a motion last week to ask the court to “correct” the portion of Fontenot’s sentence that was suspended.

There is a billboard on Johnston St. that is aimed at Judge Edward Rubin, who oversaw the trial and sentencing, and who will be re-sentencing Fontenot on Thursday.

In case you're having trouble reading it, the billboard features a photo of Austin Rivault, and reads,

"Dear Judge Rubin,
PLEASE GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME!
