STATE of Louisiana v. Clarence Billy BURKETTE
Writ application granted. See per curiam.
Writ granted. Relator was charged with a violation of LSA-R.S. 14:112, which requires the intent to obtain a “special privilege or advantage.” We find the evidence insufficient to show that, in assisting his daughter in obtaining a driver's license, relator had the intent to obtain a “special advantage.” We therefore reverse and vacate relator's conviction and sentence.
CONVICTION REVERSED; SENTENCE VACATED.
PER CURIAM
Crichton, J., dissents. Crain, J., dissents. McCallum, J., dissents.
