SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
No. 2022-KK-01085
STATE OF LOUISIANA
VS.
KEVIN DALE DAIGLE
On Writ of Certiorari to the Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, Parish of Calcasieu
PER CURIAM
Writ granted. The court of appeal utilized an overly narrow interpretation of
State v. Jackson, 608 So.2d 949, 954 (La. 1992), to find photographs pertaining to
defendant’s prior arson conviction inadmissible while affirming the trial court’s
ruling admitting the eyewitness testimony concerning the subject matter of those
photographs. We reverse the court of appeal’s ruling to the extent it determined
those photographs are inadmissible, and we reinstate the trial court’s ruling in its
entirety.
