City of Shreveport v. Sisson
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided March 14, 1975
309 So. 2d 353; 1975 La. LEXIS 4380 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

City of Shreveport v. Sisson

Opinion of the Court

In re: Frank Sisson, applying for writs of Certiorari, Prohibition and/or Mandamus.

Application denied. The showing made to us does not warrant the exercise of our jurisdiction: 1. There is no record of evidence before us; 2. Although “manifest error” has no application in de nova appeals, the application does not show that the trial judge did not exercise an independent finding that defendant was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
