You're right about the hard labor and I didn't know about Angola and thought hard labor was a relic of decades past. Still, I think the prosecutor overcharged in hopes of getting an acquittal. Motive and intent will be impossible to demonstrate. If the DA really wanted them in prison, they would have charged them with manslaughter.Not like Angola. The hard labor will consist of farm labor and they get no days off. The best they can hope for is an easier job on the one day off the regular prisoners get. A day away from the farm labor and assignment on that day to a regular prison job is considered a day off to the "hard labor" prisoner.Where are these "hard labor" prisons?I gave you a link to the exact law as published by the Louisiana Legislature you....never mind. The link is in my post and the one contained in your post where you use my post as a quote. It is the last sentence of the legislation listed as part B.I'm talking specifically about the "hard labor" embellishment you made up. Now you're running away from it.No, I am projecting the actual sentence Louisiana hands out for 2nd-degree murder. Unlike you, I make a real attempt to be able to back up my comments before posting. So, look up Louisiana 2nd degree-murder and see what you find. Maybe the source I used was old or just wrong.
"Whoever commits the crime of second degree murder shall be punished by life imprisonment at hard labor without benefit of parole, probation, or suspension of sentence"
There is "hard labor" to be done at any prison.
