As WWL noted, Operation Sideswipe led to charges against 52 people, including 44 who pleaded guilty. Only one was an attorney, Danny Keating, who pleaded guilty in exchange for his cooperation.

A lawyer who conspicuously has managed to elude charges is one who represented Garrison.

She helped secure a $650,000 settlement in an accident that Garrison staged and for which he was paid a share of the money.

A complex federal case involving a New Orleans man who allegedly made a living by causing car wrecks, a stuntwoman-turned-lawyer who represented him and her fiancé — a disbarred lawyer and convicted felon — took a gothic turn this week when the accused accident stager was fatally shot ahead of his arraignment.

Cornelius Garrison, 54, was killed Tuesday night inside a Gentilly apartment, just four days after prosecutors accused him of causing more than 50 car crashes in exchange for $150,000. Garrison’s lawyer, federal public defender Claude Kelly, confirmed his client was the man shot dead in the 1500 block of Foy Street.
