State v. Jackson

Supreme Court of Louisiana January 16, 1969

State v. Jackson, 253 La. 303 (La. 1969)

217 So. 2d 407; 1969 La. LEXIS 3118

Cross, Denies, Elicited, Examination, From, Occurred, Opportunity, Rebut, Refusal, State, Summers, Testimony, Trial, Writs

Opinion of the Court

In re: State of Louisiana applying for writs of certiorari, prohibition and mandamus.

Writs refused. The showing made does not warrant the exercise of our supervisory jurisdiction. This court will not interfere with the orderly progress of a criminal' trial except upon a showing of palpable error, which does not appear here.

SUMMERS, J., dissents from the refusal to grant writs. The trial court ruling denies the State the opportunity to rebut the-testimony of the defendants elicited on cross-examination and thereby palpable error occurred.
