Concurring Opinion

DENNIS, J.,

concurs and suggests that in order to promote public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary, and to expedite the fair and efficient administration of criminal justice in the 24th Judicial District, the relators should consider narrowing the issues to the essential constitutional and legal questions involved and applying directly to this Court for a resolution of them. See, e.g., Babineaux v. Judiciary Commission, 341 So.2d 396 (La. 1977).
