Description
Defendant, Charles James Mitchell, III, was charged by bill of information with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, violations of Louisiana Revised Statutes 14:27 and 14:30. Following a jury trial, he was found guilty of one count of attempted first-degree murder, 1 and sentenced to twenty years at hard labor, without benefit of probation, parole, or suspension of sentence. LSA-R.S. 14:27D(1) and 14:30C. Defendant appealed, raising eleven assignments of error. This court reversed defendant's conviction in a published decision entitled State v. Mitchell, 99-0283 (La. App. 1st Cir 11/5/99), 745 So.2d 208, on the basis of insufficient evidence of the requisite element of specific intent to kill, which defendant had specifically argued in assignment of error number six. 2 In State v. Mitchell, 99-3342 (La. 10/17/00), 772 So.2d 78, the Louisiana Supreme Court reversed this court's decision and remanded the case so we could address defendant's remaining assignments of error. FACTS
