The opinion

McCALEB, Justice

(concurring).

I am in agreement with the result in this case and the excellent reasoning supporting it, which is directly contrary to the views expressed in State v. Dominguez, 228 La. 284 , 82 So.2d 12 . Despite the refusal of the Court to specifically overrule the Dominguez case (which I believe to be in order), that decision has apparently been relegated to a sort of judicial limbo from which there is little hope of return, save under the identical facts appearing therein.

This is a copy of a public record, reproduced as it was published. It is not legal advice, and it may not be the version a court would rely on. Check the official source before you cite it.
