State v. Brantley
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided September 30, 1976 · Dixon
337 So. 2d 220; 1976 La. LEXIS 4512 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State v. Brantley

Opinion of the Court

In re: Letha Mae Brantley, applying for writ of review and certiorari.

Writ denied. Under La. Code of Criminal Procedure, Art. 884 (1968) the defendant cannot be sentenced to a jail term exceeding six months, and therefore right to a jury trial has not been violated.

Dissenting Opinion

DIXON, J.,

is of the opinion the writ should be granted and this Court should write on the question. Nevertheless, the reasons given in the denial are correct.
