Whenever a grand jury of one parish discovers that a crime may have been committed in another parish of the state, the foreman of that grand jury, after notifying his district attorney, shall make that discovery known to the attorney general. The district attorney or the attorney general may direct to the district attorney of another parish any and all evidence, testimony, and transcripts thereof, received or prepared by the grand jury of the former parish, concerning any offense that may have been committed in the latter parish, for use in such latter parish.C. Any person who violates the provisions of this article shall be in constructive contempt of court.Amended by Acts 1972, No. 450, §1.Amended by Acts 1972, No. 450, §1.
