Douget v. Fullerton
Supreme Court of Louisiana
Douget v. Fullerton, 273 So. 2d 845 (La. 1973)
1973 La. LEXIS 5890
Barham
Douget v. Fullerton
Opinion of the Court
In re: Roger Douget applying for remedial writs and writ of habeas corpus.
Writ denied. The showing made does not warrant the exercise of this Court’s supervisory jurisdiction.
Concurring Opinion
concurs. However, a literal reading of the law R.S. IS :574.4 entitles parole consideration upon the serving of Yz of each sentence, though the applicant has a total confinement under several consecutive sentences. However, a strict reading and construction of this statute in this fashion departs from the purpose of parole as reflected in R.S. 15:574.2 to 15:-574.14. The legislature should correct this hiatus.
