STATE OF LOUISIANA v. JOHN ERNEST BIRABENT.

Writ denied. We pretermit whether the trial court committed error, cf. State v. Lawrence, 221 La. 861, 60 So.2d 464 (1952), because relator has an adequate remedy in the trial court if error was committed.

BARHAM, J., concurs. The issues presented here may be more pointedly made by motions in the trial court if prosecution continues. Adequate remedy is available in this Court if the trial court errs in future rulings.

DIXON, J., dissents. A grand jury indictment cannot be "amended" by the court from manslaughter to murder. Defendant has already been placed in jeopardy for this killing.
