What changed
The Louisiana Court of Appeal denied defendant Anwar McKenney's application for supervisory writs, citing Louisiana Constitution Article I, Section 18(B) as the basis for denial. The writ application had been filed seeking review of proceedings in the 23rd Judicial District Court, Ascension Parish. Justices Theriot, Balfour, and Haggerty participated in the ruling.\n\nFor criminal defendants and legal practitioners, this ruling underscores the stringent standards applied to supervisory writs in Louisiana state courts and the constitutional limitations on appellate review of trial court proceedings. Criminal defense counsel should be aware that Article I, Section 18(B) provides a basis for summary denial of writ applications without extensive briefing.
