State Of Louisiana v. Eric Leroy Bolton

STATE OF LOUISIANA
COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2025 Kw 1047

VERSUS

ERIC LEROY BOLTON DECEMBER 30, 2025

In Re: Eric Leroy Bolton, applying for supervisory writs, 22nd
Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Tammany, No.
484145.

BEFORE: LANIER, WOLFE, AND HESTER, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. The detection of DNA from another individual on
the towel recovered from the victim’s stolen vehicle, absent any
evidence as to the origination of the towel or how and when the
towel was placed into the vehicle, does not warrant re-testing of
the towel in this case. Furthermore, in light of the testimony
presented at relator’s jury trial, testing of this physical
evidence will not conclusively and scientifically prove his
innocence. See La. Code Crim. P. art. 930.3(7). Given the
foregoing, the district court did not abuse its discretion by
denying relator’s unopposed motion to release evidence for
testing. La. Code Crim. P. art. 926.3(A).
