STATE of Louisiana, Appellee v. Freddie WILLIAMS, Appellant.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Second Circuit.

October 29, 2004.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Louisiana Appellate Project by Kenota Pulliam Johnson, for Appellant.

Freddie Williams, Pro se.

J. Schuyler Marvin, District Attorney, John M. Lawrence, C. Sherburne Sentell, Assistant District Attorneys, for Appellee.

Before BROWN, STEWART and PEATROSS, JJ.


STEWART, J.

Freddie Williams ("Williams") pled guilty to armed robbery and received a sentence of 50 years at hard labor, 5 years of which was imposed without benefit of probation, parole, or suspension of sentence. He appeals asserting that his sentence is excessive. Although we find that the sentence is not excessive, we do find that it is illegally lenient. Thus, for the reasons that follow, we reverse and remand.
