November 23, 1977.
IN RE: STATE OF LOUISIANA APPLYING FOR WRITS OF CERTIORARI, PROHIBITION AND MANDAMUS.
Writ Denied: No error in the trial court's ruling.
SANDERS, C. J., is of the opinion that a writ should be granted. See LSA-C.Cr.P. art. 294.
SUMMERS, J., dissents from the denial. In my view the presence of the defendant at a preliminary examination is required. La. Code Crim.Proc. art. 294 and Comments.
