STATE of Louisiana v. John P. WILLIAMS.
    No. 55810.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    March 7, 1975.
   In re: John P. Williams applying for Remedial and/or Supervisory Writs of Certiorari, Prohibition and/or Mandamus.

Writ denied. The trial court erred in reopening the State’s case sua sponte after the State had rested its case and after relator moved for a directed verdict. C.Cr. P. art. 778. Nevertheless, the reading of the legal evidence presented- by the State in chief supports the denial of the motion for directed verdict.
