State v. Matthews

Supreme Court of Louisiana
State v. Matthews, 554 So. 2d 1237 (La. 1990)
1990 La. LEXIS 199; 1990 WL 3596
Lemmon

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.

Opinion of the Court

Prior report: 549 So.2d 943.
