[quote=Anonymous]I read it when it first came out, but I didn’t know about what happened after. He was acquitted of attempted at trial, it seems, and then ordered deported after serving time on a stalking conviction relating to his wife (although unclear if the deportation order was ever enforced). Katrina and its aftermath took a huge mental toll on so many people. That’s not to excuse this guy’s criminal and abusive behavior, but it’s still part of this family’s tragic story. As for Eggers, the article mentions that he was focused on helping the wife and had been in contact with her. It’s entirely possible that his silence on the matter has been at her behest. It’s also possible that he got what he wanted from the family and moved on, which would track with his reputation for being a self-indulgent jerk. [/quote]
