STATE of Louisiana v. Jeffrey DOUCET.
    No. 85-K-1828.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Nov. 15, 1985.
   In re: Doucet, Jeffrey; Applying for Writ of Certiorari and/or Review; to the Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, Number CR85-133; Parish of Calcasieu 14th Judicial District Court Div. “A” Number 6579-83.

Prior Report: 474 So.2d 552 (La.App.).

Denied.

DIXON, C.J.,

is of the opinion that the writ should be granted. The law places the burden on the state to prove the confession was not illegally induced. The officer who is alleged to have induced the confession was not called.

CALOGERO, J., would grant the writ.

DENNIS, J., would grant and remand for absent officer’s testimony.
