State v. Trosclair
State v. Trosclair
Opinion of the Court
In Re: Angelo Trosclair, III, applying for Writs of Certiorari, Mandamus, Prohibition
Granted. It is ordered that the defense lawyer not be placed on the stand. On the showing made, there is no necessity to place the defense lawyer on the stand. On the showing made by the defendant in support of his motion in arrest of judgment, as set forth in this application, the motion in arrest of judgment is without merit.
Concurring Opinion
concurs. The defendant bears the burden of proving his waiver of a jury trial was not knowingly made, and proof of lack of a colloquy on the record does not meet this burden. The State, therefore, need not question defendant’s trial attorney at this time, and it is not necessary for us now to pass on the propriety of calling that attorney to the stand.
