Furthermore, the criminal court minutes were amended in accordance with the grand jury transcript to show that twelve grand jurors were present and that at least nine jurors concurred in the indictment in this case. the When there is a discrepancy between the minutes and transcript, the transcript prevails. State v. Lynch, 441 So. 2d 732 ( La. 1983). Therefore, the district court did not err by denying the motion and no contradictory hearing is required. im MRT WRC
