State v. Bennett

State v. Bennett
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided April 13, 1977 · Summers
344 So. 2d 667; 1977 La. LEXIS 5682 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State v. Bennett

Opinion of the Court

In re: Douglas C. Bennett applying for Writs of Certiorari, Prohibition and Mandamus and Stay Order.

Application denied; although the trial judge was in error in holding that evidence cannot be taken on a motion to quash, there is an adequate remedy in the event of conviction.

Concurring Opinion

SUMMERS, J.,

concurs in the denial. I am not prepared to rule that the trial judge was in error in refusing to permit evidence on the motion to quash in this case. Nor do I believe that there is an adequate remedy by appeal. However, I agree that the application should be denied for, assuming that applicant could prove what he alleged, the motion to quash should not be granted.
