State v. Harveston
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided February 12, 1974 · Dixon, Summers
289 So. 2d 159; 1974 La. LEXIS 3365 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State v. Harveston

Opinion of the Court

In re: State of Louisiana applying for Remedial Writs and Stay Order.

Writ denied. The showing made does not warrant the exercise of our supervisory jurisdiction during the course of the trial.

Dissenting Opinion

SUMMERS, J.,

dissents. In my view the ruling of the trial judge is palpably erroneous. The ruling should be reversed and the evidence admitted subject to objection of defense counsel. The matter can be reviewed on appeal under the above procedure. This ruling may have the effect of demolishing the State’s case.

Concurring Opinion

DIXON, J.,

concurs. The ruling of the. trial judge appears to be correct.
