471 So. 2d 1390; 1985 La. LEXIS 9086
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
State ex rel. Alexander v. Fifteenth Judicial District Court Parish of Lafayette
Opinion of the Court
In State v. Jones we held that where two or more counts are joined in the same indictment for trial, the right to bail is determined by the total sentence in the case actually imposed. We have been informed that a simple battery count and conviction are so joined in the present case so that the consecutive six months sentence is considered part of the total sentence imposed.
