State v. Palmer

Supreme Court of Louisiana
State v. Palmer, 342 So. 2d 213 (La. 1977)
1977 La. LEXIS 5393
Calogero, Marcus, Tate

State v. Palmer

Opinion of the Court

In re: Charles B. W. Palmer applying for writs of certiorari, prohibition and/or mandamus and stay order.

Writ refused. Considering the return of the Assistant Attorney General that he is exclusively conducting the Grand Jury Proceedings and that the recused assistant District Attorney was called solely as a witness and that the showing made to recuse the district judges is insufficient, the application does not warrant the interruption of the Grand Jury investigation.

Dissenting Opinion

TATE, MARCUS and CALOGERO, JJ.,

are of the opinion that the relator is entitled to a hearing upon his allegation that the appearance of the assistant district attorney before the grand jury was in violation of the stay order of January 19th.
