Opinion text

Writ granted: Treating this appeal a’s an application to our supervisory jurisdiction, Supreme Court Rule 1, Section 10 (1973), the conviction appealed from is annulled, and the matter remanded for a new trial, following State v. Jones, 316 So.2d 100 (La.1975). SANDERS, C. J., is of the opinion that the writ should be denied, since the independent evidence of guilt is overwhelming. SUMMERS, J., dissents and assigns reasons.
