SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
No. 97-KA-1771 STATE OF LOUISIANA VERSUS JEFFERY FROST ******************************************************* ON APPEAL FROM THE NINETEENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT PARISH OF EAST BATON ROUGE HONORABLE BONNIE JACKSON, JUDGE ON REHEARING ****************************************************** Calogero, C.J. concurring in the denial of the rehearing

The defendant has applied for rehearing in this matter taking issue with language used in the unpublished appendix to the majority opinion responding to his argument that cumulative error warrants reversal of his death sentence and or conviction. This Court has found that none of the alleged errors were meritorious, that what minor errors did take place were harmless, and that the cumulative effect of such minor errors did not give rise to reversible error, so that the defendant was not deprived of his right to a fair trial. The particular statement in the appendix about which the defendant complains will be corrected accordingly.
