State v. Hughes
Supreme Court of Louisiana
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.
