Description
Defendant, James Blackwell, was convicted as charged of eight counts of carnal knowledge of a juvenile in violation of La. R.S. 14:80. Defendant was sentenced to consecutive terms of 10 years at hard labor on counts one and two. He was further sentenced to 5 years at hard labor on counts three through eight; these sentences were to run concurrently with each other and with counts one and two, resulting in an effective sentence of 20 years at hard labor. For the reasons stated herein, we vacate the conviction for count four and its sentence of 5 years at hard labor. Defendants remaining convictions are affirmed. We find, however, that the sentences imposed in this case are excessive; and, therefore, we reverse as to sentencing and remand the case to the trial court for resentencing in accordance with this opinion.
