On September 29, 1982, follоwing a trial by jury, the defendant was found guilty as charged by a unanimous deсision. On November 16, 1982, defendant Segura moved for a new trial, alleging that his own testimony at the original trial on the merits was fabricatеd and that he had not murdered Todd Broussard.
