No. 51532.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.

Opinion:
In re: Wilbur Lee Royal applying for writs of certiorari, prohibition, mandamus and habeas corpus.
Writ refused. The issues raised here were decided adversely on the direct appeal, except for the issue of credit on the sentence for pre-sentence incarceration. As to that, such credit was discretionary with trial judge under La.Code Crim.P. act 880 prior to its 1970 amendment. No abuse in such discretion is shown.
