Mire, 35, pleaded guilty to a series of charges, including first-degree murder of a police officer. 23rd Judicial District Court Attorney Ricky Babin said Mire also admitted to the murder of Pamela Adair and the attempted murders of LSP trooper Albert Martin and Joseph Schexnayder, among other crimes committed during the rampage that spanned Ascension, Livingston, and East Baton Rouge parishes.

As part of the plea deal, Mire was sentenced to:

  • Two consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole, probation, or suspension of sentence.
  • An additional 196 years for attempted murder and other offenses in Ascension Parish.

All sentences are to run consecutively to future sentences for crimes committed in Livingston Parish, according to Babin.

In court, Mire confessed to all his crimes in the three parishes. Babin said he also gave up his rights to appeal, seek post-conviction relief, or reduce his sentence in state and federal courts.
