State v. Fuller

1, After being charged by bill of information with aggravated arson, a violation of La. R.S. 14:51, the defendant, Wendell Fuller, pled guilty to simple arson, a violation of La. R.S. 14:52. The trial court imposed a sentence of 15 years at hard labor. On appeal, the defendant asserts two assignments of error. First, he asserts that his sentence must be vacated due to the absence of any showing that the damage was greater than $500. Alternatively, he asserts that his sentence is excessive. Finding no error, we affirm the defendant’s conviction and sentence.
