State v. Smith

State v. Smith
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided October 9, 1978
363 So. 2d 455; 1978 La. LEXIS 6740 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State v. Smith

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The defendants appeal from their convictions, each on several counts (Smith, 4 counts; Higginbotham, 3 counts) of aggravated rape, La.R.S. 14:42, of a fellow inmate in the parish jail over a period of five days. They were sentenced to life imprisonment at hard labor.

Upon their appeal, the defendants each rely upon two assignments of error. We have examined them, and we find them to be without reversible merit.

Accordingly, we affirm the convictions and sentences.

AFFIRMED.
