1989However, in Picou v. Ferrara, 483 So.2d 915, 918 (La.1986) our Supreme Court, in considering a jury verdict predicated on erroneous instructions, stated that "... the reviewing court, under its constitutional authority to review facts, should make an independent determination of the facts from the record, if possible, without according any weight whatsoever to the factual findings of the erroneously instructed jury." (emphasis added) That holding does not reconcile the "allocation of functions" between trial and appellate courts.

2013Explaining the rationale behind this rule, the Supreme Court stated: It would be unfair to permit the defendant to have the advantage of the possibility that a lesser “compromise” verdict will be returned (as opposed to being convicted of the offense charged) and then to raise the complaint for the first time on appeal, that the evidence did not support the responsive verdict to which he failed to object.'
