STATE v. JOEKEL (2020)

Supreme Court of Louisiana.

STATE of Louisiana v. Kyle David JOEKEL

No. 2020-KK-00084

Decided: January 14, 2020

Stay denied. Writ denied.

May one murder someone, and also be a “principal” to that murder? The indictment is confusing. If open file discovery may be offered in lieu of a bill of particulars, should it not also be available to support a motion to quash? Or must the trial court order a bill of particulars? I would grant the writ to clarify this confusing situation.

Hughes, J., would grant and assigns reasons.
