Art. 930.5.  Custody pending retrial; bail

If a court grants relief under an application for post conviction relief, the court shall order that the petitioner be held in custody pending a new trial if it appears that there are legally sufficient grounds upon which to reprosecute the petitioner.

In such a case, the petitioner shall be entitled to bail on the offense as though he has not been convicted of the offense.
