State v. Hooker
State v. Hooker
Concurring Opinion
would grant, since an application should not be considered untimely where good cause is shown for a 5-minute delay in filing an application. While I am uncertain that the trial court erred, the issue is of sufficient public interest to justify an examination of it by this court in a definitive opinion.
Opinion of the Court
In re: State of Louisiana through District Attorney, Harry F. Connick applying for writs of certiorari, mandamus and prohibition.
Not considered. Not timely filed.
Concurring Opinion
would grant. For good reason this court may consider an application filed late. In this case the ruling of the trial court is clearly erroneous and, the short period allowed for writ application might have been arbitrary.
