The Gránd Jury of Orleans Parish returned a true bill on June 7, 1967 jointly indicting John Duplessis, Larry Hudson and Hayes Williams for the murder of Oscar Meeks. All of the accused entered pleas of not guilty; however, after disposition of a number of preliminary matters, on the day fixed for trial, Williams withdrew his plea of not guilty and entered a plea of guilty without capital punishment. Duplessis and Hudson were jointly tried, convicted and sentenced to death.
Each defendant reserved numerous bills of exceptions, upon which they rely on this appeal for reversal…
