State v. Gordon

Supreme Court of Louisiana

Decided June 19, 2015

Supreme Court of Louisiana · decided 2015-06-19

Relies on State Ex Rel. Herbert Nicholson v. State of Louisiana

Decided 2015-06-19

CRICHTON, J.,

¶1additionally concurs and assigns reasons.

¶2I agree with the decision to,deny this writ application. See State ex rel. Nicholson v. State, 13-0072 (La.5/5/15), 169 So.3d 344. As I wrote in Nicholson, in my view, La. R.S. 14:43.6 has a remedial purpose and may be applied prospectively. Though it cannot be applied retroactively here, this punishment is otherwise eminently reasonable and would be warranted based on this offender’s egregious and outrageous set of crimes.
