State ex rel. James v. Parker

Supreme Court of Louisiana February 17, 1975

State ex rel. James v. Parker, 308 So. 2d 284 (La. 1975)

1975 La. LEXIS 3597

Barham

Opinion of the Court

In re: Nolan James applying- for Writ of Mandamus and Stay Order.

Writ refused. The ruling of the trial judge is correct. See Daniel v. Louisiana, 420 U.S. 31, 95 S.Ct. 704, 42 L.Ed.2d 790 (1975).

Dissenting Opinion

BARHAM, J.,

is of opinion the writ should be granted. The Grand Jury should be reconstituted or this and similar cases face reversal after trial and conviction. Daniel v. Louisiana, 420 U.S. 31, 95 S.Ct. 704, 42 L.Ed.2d 790 does not support the denial of the writ here.
