Ina Tuesday Sept. 25, 2012 file photo, Aaron Broussard walks out of New Orleans federal court after pleading guilty to political corruption charges.

He is serving a prison sentence in North Carolina for his role in a bribery plot and isn't expected to testify in person about the "Doomsday Plan" that the parish carried out before the August 2005 storm struck on his watch.
