State v. Carmouche
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided March 25, 2015 · Deny, Johnson, Knoll, Weimer
164 So. 3d 168; 2015 La. LEXIS 508; 2015 WL 1401525 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

State v. Carmouche

Opinion of the Court

Applying For Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs, Parish of Orleans, Criminal District Court Div. C, No. 513-985; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, No. 2015-K-220.

_JjWrit granted. The trial court abused its discretion in excluding evidence of the prior act. Under the facts and circumstances of this case, a thirteen-day notice of the State’s intent to introduce other crimes evidence is reasonable. Likewise, the probative value of the evidence is not substantially outweighed by a danger of unfair prejudice.

JOHNSON, C.J., would deny. KNOLL, J., would deny. WEIMER, J., would deny.
