Brenda Bedsole Ricks is the Division E judge in the 21st Judicial District of the Louisiana District Courts.

Notable rulings

In 2008, Ricks ruled that Vanessa Williams, a Hammond attorney, and Michael Jackson, an owner of a nightclub in Tangipahoa, could have their names appear on the ballot for the offices, respectively, of 21st judicial district attorney and mayor of Tangipahoa.^[1]

In 2001, Ricks sentenced Clifton Chisholm to 20 years in prison, with 10 years of the sentence suspended, after Chisholm pled guilty to 155 counts of obscenity based on his mass mailing of computer altered pictures showing people engaging in homosexual intercourse. According to the charges, Chisholm altered the pictures using a computer to superimpose the faces of local teenage boys, including members of a local high school's athletic teams.^[2]
