191 So. 3d 1072; 2016 La. LEXIS 1346; 2016 WL 3258062 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

State v. Gray

Opinion of the Court

In re State of Louisiana; — Plaintiff; Applying For Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs, Parish of Orleans, Criminal District Court Div. A, No. 521-734; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, No. 2016-K-0521.

Writ granted in part, otherwise denied. We find that the District Court 8 abused its discretion in excluding Exhibit 15-4 which we find has 9 significant probative value to show defendant’s authority and the 10 extent of his willingness to protect his territory. Therefore, we find 11 Exhibit 15-4 should not have been excluded. Accordingly, we vacate 12 and reverse the District Court’s ruling excluding Exhibit 15-4. In all 13 other respects, the State’s writ application is denied.
