Biography
Gerald James Bordelon (February 19, 1962 â January 7, 2010) was an American convicted murderer and sex offender who was executed in Louisiana for murder. Bordelon was sentenced to death for the kidnapping and murder of Courtney LeBlanc, his 12-year-old stepdaughter. Bordelon waived his appeals and asked to be executed, saying he would commit a similar crime again if he was ever given the opportunity. Bordelon was executed at Louisiana State Penitentiary on January 7, 2010, becoming the first person executed in Louisiana since 2002 and the state's first voluntary execution. No further executions would occur in Louisiana for another 15 years, before Jessie Hoffman Jr. was executed by nitrogen hypoxia on March 18, 2025, for the 1996 rape and murder of Molly Elliott.
