The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “In the case sub judice, although defendant objected at trial to the introduction of his oral confession on the grounds it was not freely and voluntarily made, the record is void of a pretrial motion to b suppress, despite defense counsel’s knowledge of the confession through pretrial discovery. LSA-C.Cr.P. Art. 703(F) states in pertinent part that the “[f|ailure to file a motion to suppress evidence in accordance with this Article [i.e., prior to trial] prevents the defendant from objecting to its admissibility at the trial on the merits on a ground assertable by a motion to suppress.” See also LSA-C.Cr.P. Art. 521. While we find that defendant is precluded under LSA-C.Cr.P. Art. 703(F) from attempting to suppress his oral confession at trial, we nonetheless find that defendant was read his Miranda rights, signed a waiver form and then made his confession. Defendant has not shown he was coerced or threatened in any way.”
