1. “burden of proving that the defendant's purpose in remaining outside the state was to avoid detection, apprehension, or prosecution ... rests, of course, on the state. * * * * * * [T]he record must `clearly' establish that the purpose of the defendant's absence was to avoid detection, apprehension or prosecution.

2. “"Although the plea of prescription presented in a criminal case is a question of fact, it is not a question of fact relating to the guilt or innocence of the accused. The decision of the trial judge as to whether the offense charged is prescribed is reviewable by this court on the same facts upon which the decision was based." However, it is quite clear that in reviewing a trial judge's ruling on a preliminary motion this court attaches great weight to his factual determinations and will not disturb them unless they are clearly erroneous. State v. Holley, 362 So.2d 1089 (La.1978). State v. Campbell, 404 So.2d 956, 959 , citing State v. Guillot, 200 La. 935 , 9 So.2d 235 (1942).”
