Holdridge, J., dissents in part.
For the reasons more fully expressed in my dissent in State v. Armentor, 2019-1267 (La.App. 1st Cir. 7/31/20), 309 So.3d 762, writ denied, 2020-01032 (La. 2/17/21), 310 So.3d 1149. I would grant the writ for the sole purpose of remanding it to the district court for a full evidentiary hearing on relator's claim that he was denied a fair trial because individuals who were born after June 2, 1993, were excluded from participating in the jury venire. See State v. Cannon, 2019-590 (La. 4/18/19), 267 So.3d 585, 585-86 (per curiam) . In all other respects, I would deny the writ application.
