State v. Latiolais

HAWTHORNE, Justice.

The appellant, Rosemary Latiolais, charged with the crime of perjury denounced by Article 123 of the Criminal Code, R.S. 14:123, was tried, found guilty by the jury of attempted perjury, and sentenced by the court to serve 18 months in the penitentiary. From this conviction and sentence she has appealed. For reversal of the conviction appellant relies exclusively on an assignment of errors in which she contends that there is no such crime as attempted perjury and that the verdict of attempted perjury returned by the jury was not responsive to the indictment for perjury.
