Overview

• Dusty Guidry testified that participants were to split one third of payments from the pretrial diversion program, a claim the defense pressed by underscoring his guilty plea deal.
• Evidence presented in court referenced an $80,000 truck that an FBI agent said was intended as payback to Gary Haynes through diversion vendors.
• An FBI money‑laundering specialist outlined concealment methods and noted that Guidry’s charging document did not name Haynes.
• Prosecutors focused jurors on actions tied to a 2022 search of the District Attorney’s office as the defense argued Haynes lacked authority over referrals and vendor choices.
• The government has rested, the defense is calling witnesses including Josh Guillory and former Judge Michelle Odinet, and the judge indicated closing arguments could begin as soon as Thursday.
