State v. Hughes

Supreme Court of Louisiana

Decided May 14, 1917No. 22466PublishedCited by 8 opinions

Appeal from Twenty-Eifth Judicial District Court, Parish of Tangipahoa; Robert S. Ellis, Judge. Leo Hughes was convicted of burglary, and he appeals.

1Opinion of the CourtLand, J.

The defendant was indicted for the burglary of a storehouse, was found guilty as charged, and was sentenced to the penitentiary.

Defendant has appealed, and relies for reversal on the several bills of exception in the record.

[4] Bills 1 and 2 merely state that the defendant objected to a certain question propounded to witnesses by the district attorney, but does not set forth the grounds of objection! or the reasons of the judge.

“But a bill which contains neither the grounds of objection nor the reasons for overruling them is defective, and not entitled to notice.” Marr’s Crim. Jur. La. p. 851.
