State v. Mimes

Supreme Court of Louisiana
State v. Mimes, 254 La. 20 (La. 1969)
222 So. 2d 69; 1969 La. LEXIS 2997

State v. Mimes

Opinion of the Court

In re: State of Louisiana applying for writs of certiorari (review) and a stay order.

*21The application is denied. It is not mandatory to order the appointment of a sanity commission upon the mere filing of a motion for same. Such an order issues upon judicial determination of reasonable grounds for same. However, since the trial judge has discharged the jury, no useful purpose can be served by granting the application at this time.
