2010Adams v. Butler, 558 So.2d 552, 553 (La.1990).” The remedy for a double jeopardy violation involving a felony-murder conviction is that the less severely punishable conviction and sentence are vacated and set aside.

2005In State v. Knowles, 392 So.2d 651 (La. 1980), the Louisiana Supreme Court citing Blockburger v. United States, 284 U.S. 299 , 52 S.Ct. 180 , 76 L.Ed. 306 (1932), outlined the following criteria for examining violations of double jeopardy: The applicable rule is that where the same act or transaction constitutes a violation of two distinct statutory provisions, the test to be applied to determine whether there are two offenses or only one, is whether each provision requires proof of an additional fact which the other does not. . . . . . . .

1990Consequently, the requirements of the "same evidence" test are met. [1] Furthermore, in State v. Knowles, 392 So.2d 651 (La.1980), the court recognized that the double jeopardy clause encompasses the principle of collateral estoppel.

2012However, in State v. Solomon, 379 So.2d 1078, 1079-80 (La.1980), the court implied no such violation, holding in pertinent part: 11sBecause the defendant plead guilty to the burglary charge, there is no trial transcript to review in order to determine whether evidence in the theft trial would be the “same evidence” to prove the burglary charge.

2008State v. Solomon, 379 So.2d 1078, 1079 (La.1980) (on a Crosby appeal from a conditional guilty plea following denial of a motion to quash, the Court did not have a trial transcript to review "in order to determine whether evidence in the theft trial would be the `same evidence' to prove the burglary charge," but did have "the testimony from the motion to quash which may be utilized for this purpose."); compare United States v. Broce, 488 U.S. 563, 575-76 , 109 S.Ct. 757, 765 , 102 L.Ed.2d 927 (1989)(a defendant who has entered an unconditional guilty plea may only attack the convictions on dou

1998The Blockburger test is as follows: "The applicable rule is that where the same act or transaction constitutes a violation of two distinct statutory provisions the test to be applied to determine whether there are two different offenses or only one, is whether each provision requires proof of an additional fact which the other does not." See State v. Coody, 448 So.2d 100 (La. 1984); State v. Vaughn, 431 So.2d 763 (La.1983); State v. Knowles, 392 So.2d 651 (La.1980); and State v. Doughty, 379 So.2d 1088 (La.1980).

1990Moreover, the double jeopardy clause "protects the accused against multiple punishment for the same offense as well as a second prosecution for the same offense." State v. Coody, 448 So.2d 100, 102 (La.1984) (emphasis added).

2009Upon citing the rule that a plea bargain does not preclude a double jeopardy claim when a violation is apparent on the face of the record, the third circuit noted an “important qualification” to that rule by the United States Supreme Court which stated in Broce, supra, “We do not hold that a double jeopardy claim may never be waived.” See Broce, 488 U.S. at 575 , 109 S.Ct. at 765 .

2004The testimony of the young victim was hardly iron-clad. [3] Miller was amended and affirmed by the supreme court in State v. Miller, 90-0673 (La. 12/3/90), 571 So.2d 603 , after the supreme court found there was a double jeopardy violation.

Corbin, 495 U.S. 508 , 110 S.Ct. 2084, 2087 , 109 L.Ed.2d 548 (1990), the United States Supreme Court held that "the Double Jeopardy Clause bars a subsequent prosecution if, to establish an essential element of an offense charged in that prosecution, the government will prove conduct that constitutes an offense for which the defendant has already been prosecuted."

1995The second, the collateral estoppel component of the double jeopardy clause enunciated in Ashe v. Swenson, 397 U.S. 436 , 90 S.Ct. 1189 , 25 L.Ed.2d 469 (1970), is of no assistance to us in formulating a preemption standard for LSA-R.S. 14:143 because it requires an initial trial resulting in the acquittal of the defendant and a correlation of facts at issue in the first and second trials before it comes into play.

1990The authority for this procedure is found in State v. Byrd, 385 So.2d 248 (La.1980), where the court stated the following: However, when it is clear from the verdict that the trial judge or jury necessarily found the elements of a lesser and included offense had been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, and the state, constrained by the double jeopardy clause, cannot seek anew a conviction on the greater offense, a remand for a new trial would serve no useful purpose.
