La. Code Crim. Proc. art. 714
Current with changes from the 2024 First and Second Extraordinary Sessions
When defendants are jointly indicted and a continuance is granted to one of them, the court may grant a continuance to any of the others, on his motion. However, a continuance granted to one defendant shall not deprive other jointly indicted defendants of a prompt trial unless the state can show good ground for continuance as to them.
