Nine years after he took part in an arson scheme, Damian Landryhas been sentenced to six years in prison for his part in a fieryfraud plot.

The 43-year-old New Orleans, La. resident pled guilty in thecase, admitting to coordinating with two other defendants to burndown his home in order to profit off of the insurance proceeds onFeb. 25, 2011. David Samuels and Charles Moss, both of whom stillhave yet to be sentenced, set fire to Landry's house in December2002. A short time after, Landry filed a claim for both the loss ofhis house and property, hoping to solve his own financialdifficulties by collecting from the insurance company.

Unfortunately for the troublesome trio, the insurance payout wasnot as high as they had expected, so Landry refused to pay Samuels.This selfish act in “Saint City” is even more heinous consideringthat Landry had worked with Samuels at the Volunteers of America, anational nonprofit organization that provides community outreachand assistance to those in need. Apparently the “Paris of theSouth” isn't quite so full of love.

Though he wasn't very cooperative with Samuels, Landry was withauthorities, and agreed to plead guilty and assist prosecutorsearly in the court proceedings. He will serve six years in prison,and pay more than $91,000 in restitution to the insurance company.The court also sentenced Landry to three years of probationfollowing his time in prison.

As for the other two criminals, they probably won't be seeinganother Mardi Gras parade anytime soon. Landry's co-defendants,Samuels and Moss, have not yet been sentenced, but they face somehefty charges. Samuels, who was convicted on 15 counts, faces apossible sentence of up to 260 years in prison, while Moss, who wasconvicted on two counts, faces 35 years of jail time.
