STATE OF LOUISIANA v. JOHN CHAMBERS
ON SUPERVISORY WRITS TO THE CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF ORLEANS Hughes, J., would grant and assigns reasons.
It is never a good idea for a trial judge to enter the jury room during deliberations, even with consent of counsel. The better practice is to bring the jury into the courtroom and put it on the record.
