State v. Ledet
In State in the Interest of Jarrell, 399 So.2d 583, 584 (La.1981), Justice Dennis suggests that "... a constitutional question may be raised as to whether the plea was intelligently entered where the defendant is misinformed of the maximum sentence ..." In State v. Johnson, 95-626 (La.App. 3rd Cir. 12/13/95), 666 So.2d 1137 , writ denied, 96-0156 (La.4/19/96), 671 So.2d 925 , the court found the defendant's guilty plea was invalid because it was based on the trial court's erroneous statement that she would be eligible for probation.

Lemmon.

Writ denied.
LEMMON, J., would grant the writ for the reasons assigned.
LEMMON, Justice, dissenting from denial of writ application.
I would grant the writ. The parties, both previously married, were only married five years before they were divorced. The alimony award (which does not include any award for child support) is 24% of the husband's gross income. The wife is young and healthy, but has never worked. The wife should be required to attempt to earn some wages, or the award should be reduced in proportion to the earning ability.
