State v. Matthews
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided January 19, 1990 · Lemmon
554 So. 2d 1237; 1990 La. LEXIS 199; 1990 WL 3596 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State v. Matthews

Concurring Opinion

LEMMON, J.,

concurs, but disagrees with the court of appeal that a criminal defendant may not reraise the double jeopardy issue on appeal because the court was bound by its pretrial denial of supervisory writs on the issue. A considered writ denial may indicate the same result on appeal, but does not compel such result, particularly if a new argument is raised.
