In a separate case, Henry Lambert, 50, of Lambert Road, Jayess,was placed under a $1 million bond. Lambert is charged with themurder of his second cousin, William Clayton “Clay” Lambert, nearly10 years ago.

Boudreaux, who has cooperated with officials,pleaded guilty to the charges in December. He has been serving timein Georgia and Florida federal prisons for conspiracy and extortionconvictions unrelated to the Lawrence County case.

Henry Lambert is accused of slaying his cousin in July 1997.
