Opinion text
ON APPLICATION FOR REHEARING STEVEN R. PLOTKIN, Judge. On rehearing we vacate the previous decree and reverse the ruling of the trial court. When the entirety of the evidence, including inadmissible evidence which was erroneously admitted, is insufficient to support the conviction, the accused must be discharged as to that crime, and any discussion by the court of the trial error issues as to that crime would be pure dicta since those issues are moot. State v. Hearold, 603 So.2d 731, 734 (La.1992). Looking at the evidence and testimony in the instant case we find that the State did not produce sufficient evidence to sustain a conviction for attempted stalking. For the reasons stated above the previous decree of this Court in the above captioned matter is vacated and the defendant’s conviction and sentence are reversed. PREVIOUS DECREE VACATED; REVERSED.
