Supreme Court of Louisiana

State in the Interest of C.t.

October 18, 2017236 So. 3d 1210

Summary

The Supreme Court of Louisiana affirmed the appellate court’s adjudication that C.T. intentionally used a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent, holding that the statute requires only intentional use without consent and does not demand knowledge that the vehicle was stolen. The Court applied the Jackson standard for sufficiency of evidence and found the State met its burden beyond a reasonable doubt.
