State v. Davis

Supreme Court of Louisiana
State v. Davis, 456 So. 2d 1001 (La. 1984)
1984 La. LEXIS 9860
Calogero, Dixon

State v. Davis

Opinion of the Court

In re Frank Davis, applying for supervisory and remedial writ, to the 5th Judicial District Court, Parish of Richland, Number 39,829-A; Second Circuit Court of Appeal, Number 16,590-KW.

Denied.

Dissenting Opinion

DIXON, C.J.,

would grant on the issue of ineffective counsel; it appears that 3 critical witnesses were not called by defense lawyer.

Dissenting Opinion

CALOGERO, J.,

would grant the writ and take the matter up now, but notes that the record having been made up, it is also appropriate for the Court of Appeal to entertain relator’s complaints on appeal.
