Gibson Dunn and Barrasso Usdin Kupperman Freeman & Sarver, LLC recently secured a victory on behalf of pro bono client Tayjha Alfred, when Magistrate Judge Carol Whitehurst recommended denial of the defendants’ motion to dismiss a civil rights action filed against the District Attorney for the 16th Judicial District of Louisiana, Martin Bofill (“Bo”) Duhé, and Assistant District Attorney Alister Charrier. In 2019, Ms. Alfred happened to be in the vicinity of what later became the scene of a murder; she voluntarily told police who she saw in the area before any crime occurred. Three years later, when Bo Duhé and Alister Charrier wanted Ms. Alfred to testify at the trial of the murder suspect, they threw her in jail rather than serving her with a witness subpoena. They ignored a judicial order and kept Ms. Alfred in jail for more than six months, despite her willingness to testify voluntarily. Ms. Alfred was never charged with committing any crime, nor was she a suspect. She was never appointed counsel — as every accused criminal defendant receives upon arrest — nor was she provided with an appearance bond or any meaningful hearing to challenge her incarceration. Ms. Alfred’s suit seeks to hold Mr. Duhé and Ms. Charrier responsible for violating her constitutional rights and for similar constitutional violations against other material witnesses, and to have Louisiana’s material-witness statute declared facially unconstitutional. Judge Whitehurst recognized that Mr. Duhé’s and Ms. Charrier’s actions of allowing an innocent third-party witness “to remain in jail for six months without the chance to defend herself and without the most basic rights given even to accused criminals” are not protected by immunity. Our pro bono team includes partners Katie Marquart (Los Angeles), Andrew LeGrand (Dallas), Lee Crain (New York), and Elizabeth Dooley (San Francisco) and associates Mark Cherry (New York; argued the motion), Emily Sauer (Los Angeles; argued the motion), Ali Johnson (Los Angeles), Sasha Dudding (New York), and Katarina Delgado (New York).
