Morris v. Guidry

Supreme Court of Louisiana
Morris v. Guidry, 338 So. 2d 702 (La. 1976)
1976 La. LEXIS 3988

Morris v. Guidry

Dissenting Opinion

DENNIS, J.,

is of the opinion the writ should be granted because the jury was not clearly instructed that excessive force by the bartender would completely obviate the theory of self-defense; also there was evidence from which the jury could have found reasonably that the bar owner was guilty of primary negligence in either employing a person with dangerous propensities or in not stopping the argument before the injury occurred.

Opinion of the Court

In re: Thomas C. Morris applying for certiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, 335 So.2d 75, Third Circuit, Parish of Calcasieu.

Writ denied. The result is correct.
