VERSUS
KENYATTA HENDERSON DECEMBER 21, 2021
In Re: State of Louisiana, applying for supervisory writs,
19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton
Rouge, Nos. DC - 20- 03343, DC - 20- 03345.
BEFORE: McCLENDON, WELCH, AND THERIOT, JJ.
WRIT DENIED.

Welch, J., dissents and would grant the writ application.
A guilty plea is constitutionally infirm when a defendant is
induced to enter by that
plea plea a bargain or by what he
justifiably believes was a plea bargain, and that bargain is not
kept. State v. Maza, 2011- 1430 ( La.
App. lst Cir. 3/ 23/ 12), 2012
WL 997038, * 2. Herein, the guilty plea transcript reflects that
the defendant was advised of the charges against him, informed
of the factual basis that gave rise to the charges, and advised
of his Boykin rights. The defendant indicated that he understood
his rights and he waived those rights. Under the circumstances
of this case, I find the defendant has failed to demonstrate
that his guilty plea was constitutionally infirm.
