1. “When the State appeals the trial court’s grant of the defendant’s motion to suppress evidence, the State is appealing from a negative judgment. Consequently, the State has the burden of demonstrating to us that the evidence is without conflict and that the evidence and all reasonable inferences therefrom lead to the conclusion opposite that reached by the trial court. During our review, we consider only the evidence most favorable to the judgment, and we neither reweigh the evidence nor judge the credibility of the witnesses.”
