State v. Friddle
Supreme Court of Louisiana
State v. Friddle, 435 So. 2d 421 (La. 1983)
1983 La. LEXIS 12572
Dennis
State v. Friddle
Opinion of the Court
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
I respectfully concur in part and dissent in part.
I believe that State v. Brown, 387 So.2d 567 (La. 1980) should be given retroactive effect. In State v. Ranker, 343 So.2d 189 (La. 1977), this court expressed “grave doubts” about the constitutionality of a warrantless arrest in the home. Thus, United States v. Peltier, 422 U.S. 531, 95 S.Ct. 2313, 45 L.Ed.2d 374 (1975) is not authority for the court’s decision, in this case.
