The convicted man was given a life sentence with no opportunity for probation or parole. A Louisiana judge named George Larke carried out the sentence on Friday.
The sentence was handed down after a two day trial that presented DNA evidence that reportedly prove that the convicted was the father of the 11-year-old’s child who was given away for adoption.
The state police crime lab testified that from their analysis the accused and convicted was “37 million times” more likely to be the father than other males in their black community.
The defense attorney in the case questions the validity of the DNA presented by the state police laboratory. She also is said to question the investigation process of the local police and reportedly has found it lacking in competence and thoroughness. The defense attorney has also called into question an inconsistency of the 11-year-old girls accusations, who is now a middle school student at 13-years-old.
The accused was arrested on January 22, 2014. It is believed that the 27-year-old will spend the rest of his natural life in Louisiana prison.
