State v. Reed

State v. Reed
Louisiana Court of Appeal · Decided September 1, 1988 · Doucet, Stoker, Yelverton
541 So. 2d 905; 1988 WL 151733 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State v. Reed

Opinion of the Court

WRIT GRANTED AND MADE PEREMPTORY: Relator’s conviction and sentence are reversed and set aside. The record fails to reflect that the state proved beyond a reasonable doubt that relator operated the vehicle while intoxicated. From the evidence there is a reasonable hypothesis that relator did his drinking after he drove the vehicle into the ditch. State v. Willson, 534 So.2d 55 (La.App. 3 Cir. 1988).
