State v. Matthews

Supreme Court of Louisiana
Jan 19, 1990
554 So. 2d 1237 (La. 1990)

Opinion

No. 89-K-2517.

January 19, 1990.

In re Matthews, Curtis; — Defendant; Applying for Writ of Certiorari and/or Review, and Mandamus and Prohibition; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, Number KA 8986; Parish of Orleans Criminal District Court Div. "D", Number 280-484.


Denied.

LEMMON, J., concurs, but disagrees with the court of appeal that a criminal defendant may not reraise the double jeopardy issue on appeal because the court was bound by its pretrial denial of supervisory writs on the issue. A considered writ denial may indicate the same result on appeal, but does not compel such result, particularly if a new argument is raised.
