““It is not our intention to overrule the prior jurisprudence of this State, and particularly the various cases .cited by counsel for the State, in each of which defendant \was denied pre-trial inspection of written confession^ of codefendants, written statements of witnesses, or police reports in the hands of a sheriff, police department, or district attorney, and we do not overrule these cases.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Simpson · State v. Dowdy“"The defendant Cauche complains of the ruling of the trial judge refusing him oyer and inspection of statements, reports, confessions, and documents alleged to be in the possession of the police department. We find no error in the ruling. So far as the documents called for were public in character, defendant was not entitled to their inspection until they had been used in open court. Section 5 of Act No. 242 of 1912, as amended by Act No. 255 of 1920, § 3. And so far as they were of a private nature, defendant was not entitled to their inspection until they were offered in evidence. State v. Lee, 173 La. 966 , 139 So. 302 ."”
