STATE EX REL. WILLIAMS v. State
STATE EX REL. WILLIAMS v. State
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting.
| before this court applies a blanket application of State v. Wallace, 09-1621 (La.11/6/09), 25 So.3d 720, it should realize Wallace does not address the untimeliness issue raised in this case. The accused in Wallace promptly moved for his release after the court failed to make a probable cause determination within 48 hours of his warrantless arrest. In contrast, Relator in this case did not promptly raise the issue of the court’s failure to timely make the probable cause determination.
. It is unclear from the application whether Relator raised the issue six months or almost three years after the warrantless arrest.
