STATE of Louisiana v. Rickey L. McKEEL.

June 25, 1984.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William J. Guste, Jr., Atty. Gen., Barbara Rutledge, Asst. Atty. Gen., Harry F. Connick, Dist. Atty., William Campbell, Asst. Dist. Atty., for plaintiff-appellee.

Dwight Doskey, New Orleans, Orleans Indigent Defender Program, for defendantappellant.

BLANCHE, Justice.

By this appeal, we are asked to consider the constitutionality of La.R.S. 14:54.1. Defendant was convicted of two counts of 14:54.1—communication of false information of planned arson—and sentenced to two consecutive twenty year terms. These convictions were reversed by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeal, which found the statute to be unconstitutionally vague. From this ruling, the State now appeals.
