Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided January 4, 1974 · Accordance, Erroneous, From, Granting, Holding, Sanders, Summers, View, Williams, Writ
287 So. 2d 188; 1974 La. LEXIS 3178 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State ex rel. Fortenberry v. State

Opinion of the Court

In re: Major Lee Fortenberry applying for Writ of Habeas Corpus.

Granted. Hearing ordered.

SANDERS, C. J., dissents from granting of this writ in accordance with his dissent in State v. Williams, La., 275 So.2d 738. SUMMERS, J., dissents from the granting of this writ. In my view the holding in State v. Williams, 275 So.2d 738 (La. 1973) is erroneous.
