1. “As to Article 893.1, we noted that the article appears in the sentencing section of the Code of Criminal Procedure and is a sentencing statute which merely limits sentencing discretion under certain circumstances. We concluded that the statute need not be charged in the bill of information or indictment, as required for La.R.S. 14:95.2, but that the district attorney must notify the defendant in writing prior to trial of his intent to invoke Art. 893.1 by calling on the trial judge prior to sentencing to make a finding that firearm was used in the Citing Jackson, supra at 271 . (Emphasis added).”
