¶1(dissenting).
¶2As I appreciate the evidence, the defendant gave an unsolicited exculpatory statement while he was being transported to the parish jail. Since the officers sought no statement at the time, no interrogation was in progress.
¶3Under these circumstances, I do not consider the statement as one “stemming from custodial interrogation of the defendant.” Hence, the decision in Miranda v. Arizona is inapplicable.
¶4For the reasons assigned, I respectfully dissent.
