1. “In State v. Yarbrough, 418 So.2d 503 (La.1982), the supreme court pointed out that the court had moved away from State v. Martin, 382 So.2d 933 (La. 1980)[FN3], in which the failure of the trial court to specifically state that the Boykin trilogy of rights continues into trial, if so elected, invalidated the predicate offense. This court made the same observation in State v. Lott, 29,082 (La. App. 2d Cir.1/22/97), 688 So.2d 608 , writ denied, 97-0711 (La.9/26/97), 701 So.2d 979 , and State v. Harden, 506 So.2d 1265 (La.App. 2d Cir.1987), writ denied, 512 So.2d 438 (La.1987). Although never expressly overruled on the point of law concerning the exact wording of Boykin advice, Martin, supra, has been called into question and distinguished many times by the appellate courts of this state. See State v. Gaar, 32,243 (La. App. 2d Cir.8/18/99), 746 So.2d 41 , and Lott, supra . FN3. Martin, supra, was overruled by State v. Williams, 392 So.2d 448 (La.1980), on other grounds.”
