State v. Tatum
Louisiana Court of Appeal
Decided May 5, 1993No. Nos. 24,895-KA and 24,896-KAPublishedCited by 3 opinions
1Per curiam
Originally charged with both solicitation and conspiracy to commit second degree murder, LSA-R.S. 14:28.1, 14:26, and 14:30.1, defendants, David and Sharon Tatum, pled guilty to only the latter offense pursuant to an agreement with the state. After considering pre-sentence investigation reports, the trial court imposed hard labor imprisonment terms of 30 years for the husband and 20 years for the wife. On appeal, both sentences are challenged as excessive. Due to defendants’ failure to comply with LSA-C.Cr.P. Art. 881.1, however, the claims are neither properly before us nor subject to review.
