It will be several weeks before a Lafayette judge decides whether a Scott homeowner is owed relief after her home was purchased at a tax sale that never should have happened. Evidence and testimony were presented in court Tuesday and Wednesday for the unusual case, which all started with a 2014 grass-cutting lien for about $400 on a vacant lot in Carencro that Theresa "Kim" Guillot once owned with her ex-husband.
