State of Louisiana v. Skylar Frank

Summary

The court held that Louisiana double-jeopardy claims are governed solely by the federal distinct-elements framework, rather than by a separate broader state same-evidence test. Because attempted felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile and malfeasance in office each require proof of an element the other does not, punishing both convictions did not violate double jeopardy, so the court reinstated the attempted-carnal-knowledge conviction and sentence. No separate opinions were filed.
