Calcasieu Parish District Attorney originally denied to release the records by stating that the records pertain to "ongoing criminal investigations."
The suit, a civil suit, not "criminal" as alleged in the District Attorney's response above has since been dismissed with prejudice. The suit originally filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, against Christian D. Chesson, accused him of unfounded claims.
Paxton has since been indicted on multiple fraudulent charges in both Federal and State Court levels. Paxton has also formed and has ownership in "Watchguard Video." On April 19, 2016, KPLC news featured Watchguard Video cameras and DeRosier supporting new Louisiana legislation that permits the ability to conceal video from being Public Record. Regardless if the anti-public records legislation is passed or not, the opponents of the Watchguard Video cameras say the cameras provide less transparency because of the known ability to edit video footage in comparison to other superior camera equipment of which Attorney General Paxton has no ownership interest.
If the suspicions have merit, the public resources funded by using local sales and property taxes were improperly used targeting Chesson and his family following Chesson challenging incumbent Calcasieu Parish District Attorney John DeRosier in the November 2014 elections. Chesson has since been exonerated of all the suspicious legal actions.
