State v. Masterson

Supreme Court of Louisiana
Mar 27, 1979
369 So. 2d 164 (La. 1979)

Opinion

No. 64267.

March 27, 1979.

In re State of Louisiana, through the District Attorney, Paul Carmouche, applying for certiorari, prohibition, mandamus and for a stay order. Caddo Parish. No. 110,354.


Writ denied.

SUMMERS, C. J., would grant the writ. "The right to a preliminary examination shall not be denied in felony cases except where the accused has been indicted by a grand jury." La.Const. art. I § 14. In this case the trial judge has improperly ordered the State to show probable cause to hold the accused when the grand jury has indicted him. I would set aside the order of the trial judge. I respectfully dissent.
