State v. Bufalo
State v. Bufalo
Dissenting Opinion
is of the opinion the writ should be granted to clarify whether a “case” in which possible punishment of six months or over requires a jury trial applies not only to joinder of charges in a single indictment, State v. McCarroll, but also to separate indictments consolidated for trial upon the defendant’s motion (which may operate as a waiver of any right to jury trial otherwise applicable.)
Opinion of the Court
In re: Emil Bufalo, applying for certiora-ri and mandamus.
Writ denied. The ruling of the trial judge is correct.
Dissenting Opinion
is of the opinion the writ should be granted to clarify and correct irreconcilable differences in the decisions of this Court. See Monroe v. Wilhite, 255 La. 838, 233 So.2d 535 (1970) and State v. McCarroll, 337 So.2d 475 (La. 1976) La. Const. Art. I, § 17 (1974).
