View this case - free

View this case - free  

Overview: An award of unemployment compensation benefits to an employee was proper under La. Rev. Stat.

Thus, accessing her supervisor's e-mail was not inappropriate.

Rev. Stat. Ann. § 14:20. Thus, her second degree murder conviction, La. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 14:30.1, was upheld.
