State v. Thomas
Supreme Court of Louisiana
State v. Thomas, 249 La. 742 (La. 1966)
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.
