An ex-convict’s two-year quest to exonerate himself in a 25-year-old New Orleans rape case seems to have backfired. Karis Scott, 45, was arrested Wednesday morning by federal marshals at his home in Houma and taken to Orleans Parish on a warrant for perjury.
Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro’s office plans to file a bill of information against Scott on Thursday morning, accusing him of lying under oath nine times as he argued his innocence during an interview with prosecutors a few months ago.
Scott pleaded guilty to accessory and conspiracy charges in 1987 and served a 10-year prison sentence, accused of setting up a robbery that turned into rape.
