Supreme Court of Louisiana

State of Louisiana v. Kevin Jago

November 17, 2017228 So. 3d 1218

Summary

The Supreme Court of Louisiana denied the writ of certiorari, holding that La.R.S. 14:403.10(B) does not protect a drug user from prosecution unless the person experiences a drug‑related overdose and requires medical assistance; the defendant’s brief unconsciousness did not trigger the statute, so the charge stands.
