City of Alexandria v. Webster
Supreme Court of Louisiana
City of Alexandria v. Webster, 475 So. 2d 770 (La. 1985)
1985 La. LEXIS 9494
Watson
City of Alexandria v. Webster
Opinion of the Court
would grant in part for the following reasons:
The right to use electronically recorded testimony on appeal in lieu of a transcript of the testimony applies only to appeals to the district court under LSA-R.S. 13:1896 B and not to writs of review in criminal cases tried under a state statute in city, parish, or municipal courts. The latter cases are controlled by LSA-C.Cr.P. art. 912.1, which makes no requirement that defendant pay for the transcript. The portion of the court of appeal order requiring defendant to purchase a copy of the transcript should be vacated.
