View this case - free  

Overview: Judgment should have been entered for a store and its insurer in a negligence case arising from a fall in a puddle of water because, under La. Rev. Stat.

View this case - free  

Overview: In a workers' compensation dispute, workers' compensation judge did not manifestly err in awarding employee benefits, pursuant to La. Rev. Stat.

View this case - free  

Overview: Evidence supported defendant's conviction for attempted second-degree murder under La. Rev. Stat.

State v. Gustave, NUMBER 2004 KA 2103, COURT OF APPEAL OF LOUISIANA, FIRST CIRCUIT, April 5, 2006, Judgment Rendered
View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant was found guilty of manslaughter, a violation of La. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 14:31. Trial court committed reversible error because it denied defense's challenge to potential juror for cause after potential juror continued to insist an innocent defendant would have to take stand, which indicated juror could not accept Fifth Amendment privileges.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's conviction of three counts of aggravated rape in violation of La. Rev. Stat.

State v. Moliere, NO. 2005-KA-0430, COURT OF APPEAL OF LOUISIANA, FOURTH CIRCUIT, April 5, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Although it did not appear that amendment of attempted second degree murder charge prejudiced defendant, minute entry notation did not definitively indicate that amendment occurred before trial began. Thus, under La. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 487, his attempted second degree murder conviction, La. Rev. Stat. Ann. §§ 14:27, 14:30.1, was overturned.

View this case - free  

Overview: Where defendant claimed that the victim shot herself during a struggle with defendant, contrary to eyewitness testimony and the autopsy report, the trial court did not err in refusing to instruct the jury on the law of negligent homicide because the testimony was bereft of any evidence that defendant was negligent, much less grossly negligent.
