SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
No. 97-KA-2790 STATE OF LOUISIANA VERSUS TEDDY CHESTER ********************************************************************** ON APPEAL FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT FOR THE PARISH OF JEFFERSON, HONORABLE MARTHA B. SASSONE, JUDGE ON REHEARING ********************************************************************** PER CURIAM After consideration of the application for rehearing, we choose to make abundantly clear that the standard by which we determined that potential juror Galloway was not properly excludable for cause was indeed the one set forth by this Court in State v. Robertson, 92-2660 (La. 1/14/94), 630 So.2d 1278, 1284, in which we held that a potential juror is properly challenged for cause by the defendant where she "will not consider a life sentence and ...will automatically vote for the death penalty under the factual circumstances of the case before [her]." (emphasis added). The application for rehearing is otherwise denied.
