State v. Lamothe, 171 So. 3d 920 (La. 2015)
2015 La. LEXIS 1043; 2015 WL 3475117
State v. Lamothe
Opinion of the Court
On Supervisory Writs to the Criminal District Court, Parish of Orleans.
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.
