VERSUS

GEORGE WRIGHT JULY 5, 2023

In Re: George Wright, applying for supervisory writs, 19th
Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge,
No. 08- 14- 0118.

BEFORE: LANIER, HESTER, AND MILLER, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. The failure to file a pretrial motion to
quash waives any challenge to the grand jury. See La. Code
Crim. P. arts. 535( C), 521( A), & 535( D). Furthermore, the

criminal court minutes show that the indictment was concurred by
at least nine of the grand jury members, indorsed " a true bill",
and signed by the foreperson. Therefore, the district court did
not err by denying the motion. No contradictory hearing is
required.
