Son of Judge in Racist Viral Video Gets the Boot, Too

the son of the Louisiana judge—who went viral this week for shouting racist slurs in a video—has been kicked off of his track and field team for allegedly encouraging his mom’s offensive behavior.

Meanwhile, his mom is under investigation and has been disqualified by the Louisiana Supreme Court.

On Thursday, ABC 2 Baton Rouge reported that Elijah Odinet had been removed from Louisiana State University’s track team, just hours after his mom, Lafayette City Court Judge Michelle Odinet, went on administrative leave.


On Friday, Odinet was barred from the state Supreme Court, meaning that she cannot practice any judiciary duties. According to The Advocate, the judge requested the disqualification and will not be paid during the suspension.

In the viral video, Odinet was filmed shouting racial epithets while watching surveillance footage of an intruder attempting to burglarize her home.

While seemingly enjoying watching the surveillance footage, a male voice can be heard laughing and saying, “And mom’s yelling n—--, n—--.” A female voice responds: “We have a n -----; it’s a n-----, like a roach.”

And all the kids were on Ambien too!

Can't wait for the lost-cause types to start claiming the "honorable" Gen. Lee was also on Ambien during the Civil War...

Speak the truth for once!


You are not sorry for your actions, you are sorry YOU WERE CAUGHT! Defense attorneys are going to have a field day perusing her old cases to see if judgment and sentencing tended to bring harsher sentences for folks of color.


Do not pass go, judge.
