State v. Thomas

State v. Thomas
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided October 20, 1966
249 La. 742; 190 So. 2d 909; 1966 La. LEXIS 2119

State v. Thomas

Opinion of the Court

In re: Willie Lee Thomas applying for writ of habeas corpus.

The application is denied. It is not our understanding that Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U.S. 335, 83 S.Ct. 792, 9 L.Ed.2d 799, applies to misdemeanor cases. Hence, the trial judge correctly denied the application for habeas corpus.
