Clutching a bag containing nearly $11,000 in cash, Preston Demouchet (left) flees the scene of a bank robbery that took the life of bank teller Beverly Chauffe. Following closely, gun clearly visible, is Jerry Francis, who is seeking parole under the “old timer law” for inmates who have served 20 years and reached the age of 45. Francis, who was 17 at the time, has been in prison for 38 years. (16th Judicial District Court)
From the evidence at hand, the two robbers had a simple MO. They would case the place, maybe come and go several times, but not pull the chrome-plated .38 Special until there was only one employee present.
Then they would make the employee lay down and shoot him or her in the head.
