1. “In State v. Lewis, 39,263 (La.App. 2 Cir. 1/26/05), 892 So.2d 702 , the defendant, a first felony offender, received three concurrent 20 year sentences for the armed robbery of three employees at a bank. The defendant was armed with a BB gun. In State v. Roddy, 33,112 (La.App. 2 Cir. 4/7/00), 756 So.2d 1272 , writ denied, 00-1427 (La.5/11/01), 791 So.2d 1288 , a 22-year-old first felony offender defendant received a 20 year sentence for armed robbery of a bank. The defendant was a passenger in the getaway car, but was aware of the plan to rob the bank. The presentence report noted the defendant had spent eight months in a juvenile detention center for a prior adjudication for armed robbery. In State v. Square, 433 So.2d 104 (La. 1983), the Louisiana Supreme Court upheld the defendants [sic] 25 year sentence for a bank robbery. The defendant was 22 years old, was gainfully employed, lacked a prior criminal record, and there was an absence of personal injury to the victims of the robbery.”

2. “A defendant bears the burden of asserting the basis for his Motion to Suppress in order to give the State adequate notice so that it may present evidence and address the issue. La.C.Cr.P. art. 703(E); State v. Smith, 94-120, p. 4 (La.App. 5 Cir. 5/31/94), 638 So.2d 452, 455 . After the defendant files a Motion to Suppress, the State has the burden to prove the defendant's confession was of a free and voluntary nature. La.C.Cr.P. art. 703(D). Therefore, the defendant is limited, on appeal, to the grounds he articulated at trial; a new basis for the claim, even if it would be meritorious, cannot be raised for the first time on appeal. State v. Smith, 638 So.2d at 455-456 . See also, State v. Torregano, 03-1335, p. 3 (La.App. 5 Cir. 5/11/04), 875 So.2d 842, 845 ; State v. Richardson, 00-1551, p. 6 (La.App. 5 Cir. 8/28/01), 795 So.2d 477, 482 , writ denied, 01-2670 (La.8/30/02), 823 So.2d 939 .”
