State v. Chrisman
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided October 12, 1977 · Sanders, Summers
350 So. 2d 679; 1977 La. LEXIS 6406 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State v. Chrisman

Opinion of the Court

In re: Mark Chrisman applying for Writs of Certiorari, Review and Mandamus.

Writ granted. Trial judge ordered to permit Dr. J. Thomas Ungeleider to testify on October 14, 1977, or to allow his deposition to be taken and received in evidence in lieu of his testimony. Thereafter, trial judge should reconsider his rulings on defendant’s motions to quash and suppress in view of the additional evidence.

Dissenting Opinion

SUMMERS, J.,

dissents from this ex parte decree on the question of admissibility of evidence upsetting the ruling of the trial judge. Applicant has an adequate remedy by review in the event of conviction and this court should not interfere with the orderly proceedings in the trial court in the absence of palpable error, irreparable injury or great harm. Neither of these has been shown here.

Dissenting Opinion

SANDERS, C. J.,

dissents from the granting of the writ.
