Summers
State v. Masterson
Opinion of the Court
In re State of Louisiana, through the District Attorney, Paul Carmouche, applying for certiorari, prohibition, mandamus and for a stay order. Caddo Parish. No. 110,354.
Writ denied.
Concurring Opinion
would grant the writ. “The right to a preliminary examination shall not be denied in felony cases except where the accused has been indicted by a grand jury.” La.Const, art. I § 14. In this case the trial judge has improperly ordered the State to show probable cause to hold the accused when the grand jury has indicted him. I would set aside the order of the trial judge. I respectfully dissent.
