Art. 344 Repealed by Acts 2016, No. 613, §4, eff. Jan. 1, 2017

This rule no longer exists. Louisiana lawmakers removed it from the law books through legislation passed in 2016, and the repeal became official on January 1, 2017.

Since the rule was repealed, it has no legal effect today. If you're looking at older court documents or case law that reference Rule 344, keep in mind that the rule they're citing is no longer part of Louisiana's criminal procedure. Any current legal questions about this topic would need to be answered by looking at whatever rules or laws replaced it, if any.

If you're researching a case or trying to understand your rights, don't rely on this old rule number. Check with a current version of the Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure or talk to a lawyer to find out what law applies now.
