Supreme Court of Louisiana, 1986

State v. Rowe

State v. Rowe
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided March 7, 1986 · Dennis, Dixon
483 So. 2d 1008; 1986 La. LEXIS 5812 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State v. Rowe

Opinion of the Court

DIXON, C.J., and DENNIS, J.,

concur in the denial. However, the words of the Court of Appeal in the writ denial are susceptible of the interpretation that the Court of Appeal did not consider the application because there was a remedy by appeal. In denying the writ, the Court of Appeal exercises its supervisory jurisdiction. It is far better for the Court of Appeal to rule on a motion to suppress if it will avoid a useless trial.
