STATE v. RAY

Supreme Court of Louisiana.
Nov 5, 1986

Writ granted. Ruling of the Court of Appeal is reversed and set aside. Judgment of the district court denying a mistrial is reinstated. Issue raised by defendant may be urged on appeal.

DIXON, C.J., and CALOGERO, J., would deny the writ application.

DENNIS, J., would either deny or grant for full consideration, and preparation of an opinion, on the difficult question of whether a defendant may be tried entirely, and not temporarily, in absentia.
