Louisiana judge resentences tourist-targeting racketeer to life for reporter's death

Danette Colbert, 49, was resentenced to life plus 75 years under Louisiana's habitual offender law for her role in a New Orleans criminal enterprise that targeted tourists, resulting in the death of journalist Adan Manzano. The resentencing follows an earlier 60-year sentence, reflecting a harsher penalty under repeat-offender statutes. This is a local criminal justice outcome with no broader geopolitical or market implications.
