2. “"Using the test set forth in State v. Ray [ 423 So.2d 1116 (La.1983)], the tardy disclosure of this compilation cannot be seen to have so prejudiced the jury as to compel it to reach the wrong conclusion. There is ample testimony of the appellants' guilt above and beyond the evidence of sales of Talwin in a pharmacy other than the one involved in this case. "It is apparent from the trial transcript that as early as Wednesday, February 10th, appellants knew of the prosecutor's attempts to compile statistical evidence of the sale of Talwin and pyribenzamine. Motions for Subpoena Duces Tecum were in the court file as early as Monday, February 8th. Thus, appellants cannot have been completely `surprised' as to the existence of the compilation when it was given to them on Friday, February 12th. "The state's `late' disclosure of the statistical compilation does not require reversal in this case."”
