1. “Advice with respect to the defendant's sentencing exposure has never formed part of the Louisiana Supreme Court's core Boykin requirements for the entry of a presumptively valid guilty plea in any case. Such advice was not mandated by statute until the institution of LSA—C.Cr.P. art. 556.1, added by Acts 1997, No. 1061 Sec. 1, effective date, August 15, 1998. Because the trial courts were not required by statute to advise Perkins of his sentencing exposure at the time of the taking of the pleas, he has failed to present affirmative evidence of any procedural irregularity which would have warranted the shift of the burden of proof to the state.”
