1987 La. LEXIS 9902
Bring, Calogero, Dennis, Dixon, Grant, Lemmon
State v. Johnson
Opinion of the Court
In re Johnson, Jeffery; Applying for Writ of Certiorari and/or Review; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, Number KW-7797; Parish of Orleans Criminal District Court Div. “D” Number 286-006.
Granted in part. The conviction and sentence are reversed, and the case is remanded for a new trial. Otherwise, denied.
Concurring Opinion
concurs. Relator’s motion for acquittal based on the loss of the trial transcript implicitly included a motion to set aside the conviction, and that is the only relief to which relator is entitled.
DIXON, C.J., notes that article 591 of the Code of Criminal Procedure would prohibit another trial.
DIXON, C.J., and CALOGERO and DENNIS, JJ. would grant the rehearing.
