State v. Brown
Supreme Court of Louisiana
Appeal from Criminal District Court, Parish of Orleans; Joshua G. Baker, Judge. John Brown was convicted of crime, and appeals.
1Opinion of the CourtLand, J.
Defendant was indicted for having carnal knowledge of a female below the age of consent, and pleaded not guilty. Two days later the defendant filed a so-called demurrer, which seems to be a motion to compel the district attorney to dismiss an affidavit charging a like offense against the same female on another date. This motion was overruled by the court, and the case was tried. The defendant was found guilty as charged, and after his motion for a new trial and motion in arrest were overruled, was *13sentenced to imprisonment at hard labor for a term of five years. Defendant has appealed.
