“[O]nce the defendant makes the initial showing at a motion to suppress hearing that a warrantless search occurred, the burden of proof shifts to the State to affirmatively show that the search is justified under one of the narrow exceptions to the rule requiring a search warrant.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“In any event, where there is contradictory testimony at trial, the trial judge's evaluations of credibility are entitled to great weight. State v. Martin, 376 So.2d 300 (La.1979); State v. Dunbar, supra [ 356 So.2d 956 (La.1978)]; State v. Tennant, 352 So.2d 629 (La.1977).”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Bearden“. He stated that following the advice of rights, Bearden conversed with the officers making the arrest.
