State ex rel. Stewart v. State
Supreme Court of Louisiana
State ex rel. Stewart v. State, 503 So. 2d 468 (La. 1987)
1987 La. LEXIS 8805
State ex rel. Stewart v. State
Opinion of the Court
In re Stewart, Feltus; applying for supervisory writs; Parish of Orleans, Criminal District Court, Div. āDā, No. 251-454.
Granted. The twenty-year sentence for violation of La.R.S. 40:966 is facially illegal in excess of the maximum sentence for the basic crime, because the minute entry and commitment papers do not show that relator was sentenced as a multiple offender. The sentence is therefore set aside and the case is remanded for resentencing.
