State ex rel. Broussard v. Henderson
295 So. 2d 816; 1974 La. LEXIS 3555
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
State ex rel. Broussard v. Henderson
Opinion of the Court
In re: John David Broussard applying for Writ of Habeas Corpus, alternatively Certiorari, Prohibition and Injunctive relief.
Writ denied. Based on minute entry at plea the plea appears free and voluntary.
Dissenting Opinion
is fully in accord with the denial of this writ. The so-called requirement of “Boykinizing” has been soundly repudiated. See McChesney v. Henderson, Warden, 482 F.2d 1101 (Sth Cir. 1973).
Dissenting Opinion
is of the opinion an evi-dentiary hearing is required. The minute entry merely shows the judge’s conclusion that defendant knew the consequence of his plea. Defendant was not Boykinized under this entry. A knowing and voluntary plea is not evidenced by minutes.
