No. 81-K-1472 Precedential Processed

State v. Watson

Louisiana Supreme Court · Filed June 5, 1981 · 399 So. 2d 1176

Opinion text

LEMMON, J., dissents. While any person may be called as a witness, the application complains about specific questions and answers which are anticipated. In my opinion evidence at a sentencing hearing is properly limited to mitigating circumstances of the offense. Opinion evidence attacking the morality of the death penalty in general should be excluded.
