STATE EX REL. LEE v. WHITLEY
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
Oct 9, 1992
Denied. Correction of relator's sentence to reflect hat it runs without parole eligibility does not support a presumption of vindictiveness under North Carolina v. Pearce, 395 U.S. 711, 89 S.Ct. 2072, 23 L. Ed.2d 656 (1969). The requirement of law that relator must serve his sentence without parole represents a "wholly logical, non-vindictive reason . . . .,'" negating any presumption of vindictiveness. State v. Lucas, 598 So.2d 338 (La. 1992) [quoting Texas v. McCullough, 475 U.S. 134, 140, 106 S.Ct. 976, 980, 89 L.Ed.2d 104 (1986)].
