State v. Wilhite
Supreme Court of Louisiana
State v. Wilhite, 329 So. 2d 434 (La. 1976)
1976 La. LEXIS 3869
Dixon, Summers
State v. Wilhite
Concurring Opinion
concurs in the denial. It was clear error, requiring a mistrial, for the prosecutor to refer to other criminal conduct by the defendant in cross-examination.
Opinion of the Court
In re: State of Louisiana applying for Writs of Certiorari, Prohibition and Mandamus.
Writ denied. We cannot say the trial judge’s ruling granting a mistrial is incorrect. Moreover, since the trial judge has discharged the jury and reset the matter for trial, the matter is moot.
Dissenting Opinion
this matter is moot. All other expressions of the majority is an improper advisory opinion.
