Derrick Shepherd, the former state senator from Marrero whose meteoric rise in politics crashed with his federal conviction of conspiracy to commit money laundering, will never practice law in Louisiana again. The state Supreme Court has permanently disbarred Shepherd, citing his 2008 guilty plea in U.S. District Court in New Orleans to conspiring with unlicensed bond broker Gwendolyn Moyo to launder $141,000 in proceeds from the sale of bogus bonds. He used $20,000 of it to pay down campaign debt, the Supreme Court noted.
