Lead Opinion

In re: Nolan James applying- for Writ ‍​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‍of Mandamus and Stay Order.

Writ refused. The ruling of the trial judge is correct. See ‍​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‍Daniel v. Louisiana, 420 U.S. 31, 95 S.Ct. 704, 42 L.Ed.2d 790 (1975).






Dissenting Opinion

BARHAM, J.,

is of opinion the writ ‍​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‍should be granted. The Grand Jury should be reconstituted or this and similar cases ‍​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‍face reversal after trial and conviction. Daniel v. Louisiana, 420 U.S. 31, 95 S.Ct. 704, 42 L.Ed.2d 790 does ‍​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‍not support the denial of the writ here.
