Double murderer from Abbeville could be free in 35 years

At the age of 52 years old, D’ Andre Jamale Senegal could be a free man despite murdering two people in Abbeville.
Senegal was found guilty of first degree murder for killing brothers Mike Guidry, who was 24, and Gary Guidry, who was 25. They were shot in their home in 2013.
Senegal was 17 years old at the time of the killings. Because of his age, despite killing two people, the United States Supreme Court said a pre-sentencing hearing has to take place. The high court ruled that a sentencing hearing must be held before imposing such a “severe penalty.”
Judge Durwood Conque held that pre-sentencing hearing on June 26 in the courthouse.
Senegal had his grandfather, his uncle Rev. Michael Wright and other family members speak. They testified to the character, youthfulness, upbringing and influences the defendant had in his live.
Judge Conque listened and then sentenced Senegal.
He received life at hard labor for each murder. He was also given parole eligibility after 35 years in prison. At the age of 52, Senegal will be able to go before a parole board with a chance of being paroled.
Judge Conque also sentenced him on other charges. Senegal received 10 years for second degree kidnapping and 25 years each for two counts of obstruction of justice. Those charges are not added on to his first degree murder charges . They will be served at the same time (concurrent) of his murder charges.
Despite the extra sentencing, Senegal will serve 35 years in prison before going before a parole board.
At the end of his sentencing, he filed a motion to appeal the case to the Third Circuit Court of Appeal.
