State v. Douglas, 352 So. 2d 1037 (La. 1977)
1977 La. LEXIS 6830
Calogero, Marcus, Sanders, Summers

State v. Douglas

Opinion of the Court

In re: State of Louisiana applying for supervisory writs. Parish of E. Baton Rouge.

Writ denied. No abuse of discretion.

Dissenting Opinion

SANDERS, C. J.,

is of the opinion that a writ should be granted and an evidentiary hearing ordered to determine whether the other rape falls within the guidelines of State v. Carter.

Concurring Opinion

SUMMERS, J.,

is of the opinion the writ should be denied. Applicant’s showing is not sufficient to warrant the exercise of this court’s supervisory jurisdiction.

Concurring Opinion

CALOGERO and MARCUS, JJ.,

concur. We do not here decide whether evidence of one crime is admissible in trial of the other.
