1. “doctrine, an appellate court will generally not reconsider prior rulings made in the same case on subsequent appeal. State v. Guccione, 96-1049 (La.App. 5 Cir. 4/29/97) , 694 So.2d 1060, 1066 , writ denied, 97-2151 (La.3/13/98), 712 So.2d 869 . Reconsideration is warranted, however, when in light of a subsequent trial record, it is apparent that the determination was patently erroneous and produced unjust results. State v. Davis, 03-488 (La.App. 5 Cir. 11/12/03) , 861 So.2d 638 , 642 fn. 2, writ denied, 03-3401 (La.4/2/04), 869 So.2d 874 .”
