Supreme Court of Louisiana

260 La. 419 (La. 1972)

Opinion

No. 51766.

January 4, 1972.

Henri Loridans, Bossier City, for defendant-appellant.

Jack P. F. Gremillion, Atty. Gen., Harry H. Howard, Asst. Atty. Gen., John B. Benton, Jr., Dist. Atty., Arthur M. Wallace, Jr., Second Asst. Dist. Atty., for plaintiff-appellee.


The defendant was convicted of simple burglary. LSA-R.S. 14:62. He appeals.

The defendant reserved and perfected one bill of exceptions to the trial judge's denial of his motion for a directed verdict based upon the alleged insufficiency of evidence. We have held that our state constitution prevents consideration of such a motion for a directed verdict. LSA-Const. Art. 19, Sec. 9; State v. Williams, 258 La. 801, 248 So.2d 295 (1971). We find no error.

The conviction and sentence are affirmed.
