2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Meyers · State v. McLemore“From this record, it is apparent that the motion was not acted upon due to the confusion caused by appellant’s changing custody situation. Thus the case presents a stark judicial choice: who should bear the burden of the omission — the trial court or the mysteriously silent defendant?
