State of Louisiana v. Lamondre Markes Tucker State of Louisiana v. Alicia Ann Tucker

Summary

Justice argues that the jury‑tampering statute’s term “juror” does not cover prospective jurors and, under the principle of lenity, the statute must be narrowly construed. Accordingly, the convictions of Lemondre Markes Tucker and his mother should be reversed and the writ granting relief should be issued.
