State Of Louisiana v. Philippe Veeters

STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2022 KW 0325

VERSUS

PHILIPPE VEETERS MARCH 30, 2022

In Re: State of Louisiana, applying for supervisory writs,

19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton
Rouge, No. DC - 19- 07235.

BEFORE: MCDONALD, McCLENDON, AND WELCH, JJ.

WRIT GRANTED. The district court erred in finding that La.
R. S. 14: 43. 4 defines the term " genitals." Instead, that statute

merely identifies what constitutes the crime of female genital

mutilation.
Accordingly, the district court' s ruling relying
upon La. R. S. 14: 43. 4 to define " genitals" is reversed.
