NO. 2018-KK-0393

Supreme Court of Louisiana.

March 12, 2018

GRANTED. Considering the totality of circumstances, including the fact that the witnesses are located outside of the United States, the trial court abused its discretion in denying the State's motion for a continuance. The ruling of the trial court is therefore reversed and the State's motion to continue is granted.
