State Of Louisiana v. Carl Barras

STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2024 KW 1131

VERSUS

JANUARY 29, 2025

In Re: Carl Barras, applying for 22nd
supervisory writs,

Judicial District Court, Parish St. No.
of Tammany,
188319.

BEFORE: WOLFE, MILLER, AND GREENE, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. The new rule of criminal procedure announced in
Ramos v. Louisiana, 590 U. S. 83, 140 S. Ct. 1390, 206 L. Ed. 2d 583
2020), which provides for in
unanimity jury verdicts is not

retroactive in Louisiana. State v. Reddick, 2021- 01893 ( La.
10/ 21/ 22), 351 So. 3d 273, 283. See also State v. Jackson, 2022-
00720 ( La. 5/ 16/ 23), 360 So. 3d 473 ( per curiam). Relator' s
conviction became final in 1992, when the supreme court denied
writs. See La. Code Crim. P. art. 922( D). Therefore, relator' s

application for postconviction relief is untimely and he failed to
demonstrate that an exception to the time delay applies to his
case. See La. Code Crim. P. art. 930. 8.
