AG Jeff Landry’s Office Successfully
Prosecutes Rapides Parish Case
BATON ROUGE, LA – Attorney General Jeff Landry issued
the following statement after his office obtained a conviction of Kayla Giles
on charges of second-degree murder and obstruction of justice:
"Today, justice was served to Kayla Giles by a jury
of her peers in Rapides Parish. I pray her conviction provides some healing and
closure to the victim's family.
This jury's verdict is the culmination of an exceptional
prosecution by my Assistant Attorneys General Joseph LeBeau and Brooke Harris;
and an equally exceptional investigation by my Louisiana Bureau of
Investigation, Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office and the Alexandria Police
Department. I’d also like to thank my Victim’s Assistance Coordinator for her
work with the victim’s family.
My office and I remain committed to doing all we can to
make Louisiana a safer place to live, work, worship, and raise families."
