State v. Conerly

Supreme Court of Louisiana
State v. Conerly, 342 So. 2d 671 (La. 1977)
1977 La. LEXIS 5455
Dennis, Dixon, Tate

State v. Conerly

Opinion of the Court

In re: Murrill Conerly, applying for writs of certiorari, review, prohibition and mandamus and Stay Order.

Writ denied. The ruling of the trial judge is correct.

Concurring Opinion

TATE, DIXON and DENNIS, JJ.,

concur, believing the issue is not posed until after the witnesses testify on direct for the state; if the defendant is then denied access to the grand-jury testimony of these witnesses for purposes of cross-examination, a substantial confrontation right may be denied him. See Davis v. Alaska, 415 U.S. 308, 94 S.Ct. 1105, 39 L.Ed.2d 347 (1974).
