Supreme Court of Louisiana

State of Louisiana v. Randy Lee Turner

May 8, 2019

Summary

The Louisiana Supreme Court held that the phrase “at least two of the following acts” in La.R.S. 14:108.1(D) includes the repeated commission of the same enumerated act, so the district court’s jury instruction was correct and the defendant’s aggravated‑flight conviction was reinstated. The Court also concluded the statute was unambiguous, so the rule of lenity did not apply.
