STATE v. MCDONOUGH (2021)

Supreme Court of Louisiana.

STATE of Louisiana v. William MCDONOUGH

No. 2021-KK-01857

Decided: December 13, 2021

Writ application denied.

The State should have sought a continuance which, if denied, would be subject to appellate review. The Article 61 procedure it employed in this instance is unwarranted, could be interpreted as an abuse of authority, and should be avoided in the future.

Crain, J., would grant. Griffin, J., concurs and assigns reasons.
