Lavergne's case was among four requests for reconsideration rejected Friday without comment.

Lavergne pleaded guilty last year to murdering University of Louisiana student Mickey Shunick and Lisa Pate back in 1999.

Lavergne was convicted of murdering Lisa Pate and University of Louisiana student Mickey Shunick. He avoided the death penalty in exchange for his confessions and the location of Shunick's body.

He is complaining of living conditions and violation of rights while in prison.

Lavergne is also requesting a host of other documents.

Lavergne insists "the state is playing politics with [his] life and attempting to use the tide of public opinion to influence the judgment of [the court]."

Lavergne was sentenced to live the remainder of his life in the Angola State Penitentiary after pleading guilty in court to the two murders.

Lavergne is currently serving time in the death of Mickey Shunick and the death of Lisa Pate.

Mickey's body has been getting examined at the LSU Faces Lab over the past couple of days.

Court documents filed in 15th Judicial District Court reveal some key evidence against the man accused of killing Mickey Shunick and Lisa Pate.

He is charged in two murder cases.

Legal analysts are saying trying the two cases together could be more economical. Even so, Harson says it could take two to three years to bring Lavergne to trial.

Charlie Shunick, Mickey's sister, says she would do anything to find out what happened to her. She says even if it means Brandon Scott Lavergne, the man indicted for Mickey's murder, would strike a deal with prosecutors to lessen his sentence if he told authorities what he allegedly did with her body...
