STATE of Louisiana v. Jarvis Dale CHAPMAN.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Third Circuit.

October 12, 1983.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Stewart Thomas, Jennings, Charles L. Bull, Jr., Welsh, for defendant-respondent.

W. Gregory Arnette, Jr., Dist. Atty., W.J. Riley, III, Asst. Dist. Atty., Jennings, for plaintiff-relator.

Before DOMENGEAUX, FORET and YELVERTON, JJ.

ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI

FORET, Judge.

We granted this writ of certiorari upon application of the State of Louisiana, to review the trial court's granting a new trial upon motion of a jury-convicted defendant. The major issue involved is what role does the standard set forth in Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 99 S.Ct. 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979), play in a motion for new trial.
