A Cameron Parish man’s conviction for aggravated crimes against nature, as well as his 25-year sentence, have been thrown out by the 3rd
Circuit Court of Appeal and a new trial ordered in light of the Ramos v. Louisiana case.
Elvin Bryant Jinks Jr., was found guilty at trial April 25, 2018, in Cameron Parish.
Jinks was sentenced to 25 years at hard labor without
the benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sen-tence.
The victim in this case was a family member who was under the age of 13 at the time of the incidents.
Prosecutors said the of-
fenses took place between the spring and fall of 2016.
Ramos v. Louisiana was a landmark United States Su-preme Court case in which the court ruled 6-3 that the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution requires
that guilty verdicts for crimi-nal trials be unanimous.
The verdict in Jinks’ trial was not unanimous; it was 10-2. Therefore, he will receive a new trial.
