State v. Lamothe

Opinion of the Court

On Supervisory Writs to the Criminal District Court, Parish of Orleans.

PER CURIAM.

Granted. We do not find the defendant was subject to custodial interrogation in this instance, and as a result, the Miranda warnings were not required. See, State v. Thornton, 12-0095, p. 4 (La.3/30/12), 83 So.3d 1024, 1026. Therefore, the statements made by the defendant to the police officer are admissible. The judgment of the trial court granting defendant’s motion to suppress is hereby vacated.
