1. “The Court has considered the guidelines as set out in the Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 894.1. The Court finds after considering' each of the thirty-three factors that the defendant was found guilty by this court of two counts of attempted second degree murder and one count of aggravated criminal damage to property. The Court will note that both victims in this matter had to be brought in by material witness warrant. And the Court will also note for the record so the appellate court is very clear, this Court had the ability to watch Ms. Troylynn Smith testify. And not only did she testify that she was threatened if she came to court to testify; her visible demeanor on the witness stand having to testify about this incident was unnerving. So while the appellate court looks at a cold record, this Court had the ability to view the witness, especially Ms. Smith. And based upon her testimony and her physical appearance as she was testifying it’s no wonder she had to be brought in by material witness warrant. Having considered the guidelines set out in 894.1, the Court finds that Mr. Bradstreet should be sentenced to forty years at hard labor in the Department of Corrections on Count 1, forty years at hard labor in the Department of Corrections on Count 2, and fifteen years at hard labor in the Department of Corrections on Count 3. All three counts should run concurrent with each other with credit for time served from the date of arrest in this ease and this case only. [[Imag”
