After he left the bench , Humphries said in a 1981 interview that the imposition of a sentence is " one of the most demanding tasks judges face . The facts of each crime are all different . I consider the facts of each crime , the defendant -- his background , his propensity for future crime or the possibility for rehabilitation , and the prime consideration is the public and the victim . One can hardly separate the ( last ) two because the victim is part of the public , and the public is a potential victim . . . . " In 1956 , Humphries was an alternate delegate to the Democratic National Convention held in Chicago , Illinois , which nominated the Stevenson-Kefauver ticket , the first Democratic ticket to lose the Louisiana electoral vote since the disputed presidential election of 1876 . Humphries ' law partner Camille Gravel was a delegate to that same convention
