STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Joseph GREMILLION v. C. Murray HENDERSON, Warden, Louisiana State Penitentiary, et al.
No. 51872.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
Nov. 16, 1971.

Opinion:
In re: Joseph Gremillion applying for writ of habeas corpus.
Application denied. After considering the minutes of this Court and the evidence taken at the hearing below, we find that relator is not entitled to the relief prayed for.
DIXON, J. is of the opinion that the application should be granted. The mutilation of the bill of information by the prosecutor leaves no valid bill in the record to support the penitentiary sentence. This is a fatal defect apparent on the face of the record.
