State v. Crawford
Opinion of the Court
In re State of Louisiana; — Plaintiff(s); applying for supervisory and/or remedial writs; Parish of Orleans, Criminal District Court, Div. “A”, No. 376-284; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, No. 97KW-0956.
Writ granted. The trail court’s denial of the State’s motion to quash is reversed. The state’s motion to quash subpoenas is granted.
Dissenting Opinion
dissents from granting a summary reversal without affording respondent an opportunity to be heard especially in a non-emergency situation.
Concurring in Part
concurring in part, dissenting in part.
I concur. The majority is correct insofar as the testimony subpoenas are concerned. However, I dissent as far as the subpoena duces tecum is concerned. I believe that the subpoena duces tecum should be honored. The trial court could then conduct an in camera review of the State’s files.
