State v. Williams

363 So. 2d 892, 1978 La. LEXIS 6703

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The' defendant was convicted after a trial by jury of armed robbery, a violation of R.S. 14:64, and was sentenced to thirty years imprisonment without benefit of parole, probation or suspension of sentence. Upon this appeal the defendant relies on thirteen assignments of error for a reversal of his conviction and sentence. We find no merit in the assignments of error.¹

Accordingly, we affirm the defendant’s conviction and sentence.

AFFIRMED.
