State v. Dougherty

Supreme Court of Louisiana June 16, 1978

State v. Dougherty, 359 So. 2d 624 (La. 1978)

1978 La. LEXIS 5368

Dennis, Dixon, Grant, Tate, Writ

Opinion of the Court

In re: Kevin Dougherty applying for writs of mandamus and prohibition. Parish of East Baton Rouge.

Writ denied. Adequate remedy by appeal in the event of conviction.

Concurring Opinion

TATE, J.,

concurs. I agree with the Monroe Court that the affidavit seems to indicate staleness. However, the issue may be reviewed on appeal from a conviction either after trial or upon a plea of guilty.

DIXON and DENNIS, JJ., would grant the writ.
