STATE v. VICE (2019)

ON SUPERVISORY WRITS TO THE 15th JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE PARISH OF LAFAYETTE

Writ denied.

The judge and the prosecutor, as an officer of the court, have a duty to ensure that criminal defendants, even guilty ones, do not sit in jail after prosecution deadlines have lapsed, without notice or remedy due to the lack of notice. The defendant in this case should be afforded a bond hearing.

HUGHES, J., would grant and assigns reasons. GENOVESE, J., would grant for reasons assigned by Justice Hughes.
