State v. Miller
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided May 12, 1978 · Summers
359 So. 2d 195; 1978 La. LEXIS 7472 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State v. Miller

Opinion of the Court

In re: State of Louisiana applying for writ of review. Parish of West Baton Rouge.

Writ denied. Insufficient showing to warrant the interruption of the orderly trial proceedings.

Dissenting Opinion

SUMMERS, J.,

is of the opinion the writ should be granted. No showing has been made by the defense that the tapes contained contradictory statements. Such a foundation is essential to production of a witness’ statement in the State’s possession. State v. Weston, 232 La. 766, 95 So.2d 305.
