  • Louis Hebert was sentenced to 90 years as a habitual offender for possession of marijuana. A new trial was granted based on perjured testimony by a police officer, and the charge was dismissed.

 

  • George Raft Washington was sentenced to seven years for theft. A new trial was granted based on ineffective assistance of counsel, and he was placed on probation.
