admissibility test in Louisiana

1991McLaughlin v. Fireman's Fund Insurance Company, 533 So.2d 340 (La.1988). *206 On remand this court held that the plaintiffs failed to properly preserve their chain of custody objection for appellate review and ruled that it was unnecessary to rule on the assignments of error relating to the admissibility of the decedent's blood alcohol test.

1989Accordingly, the judgment of the court of appeal is set aside, and the case is remanded to the court of appeal to rule upon the admissibility of the test results and to reconsider the fault of the parties in the light of that ruling. [McLaughlin v. Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company, 533 So.2d 340 (La.1988).] FACTS Kirk McLaughlin (McLaughlin) was killed on April 10, 1983, when the 1978 Chevrolet Monza automobile he was driving collided with an 18-wheel tractor-trailer rig (the truck) operated by Howard Glasper and owned by Hammond Sandblasting, Inc. McLaughlin’s parents, Clarence “Red” McLaughl

1990State v. Tanner, 457 So.2d at 1174 .

1987Therefore, it appears that it would have been impossible for the Staj;e to prove the admissibility of the test results according to LSA-C.Cr.P. art. 703 and State v. Tanner, supra. Consequently, the burden placed upon the defendant by the erroneous trial court ruling placed the defendant at a distinct disadvantage.

1992NOTES [1] In State v. Panepinto, 548 So.2d 34 (La.App. 5th Cir.1989), writ denied, 551 So.2d 1335 (La. 1989), a panel of this Court noted that "While the State clearly has the burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the confession was free and voluntary at an admissibility hearing, that burden becomes one `affirmatively proving' the confession as free and voluntary when it is offered for the jury's consideration."

1987A case relied on by defendant, State v. Walker, 376 So.2d 92 (La.1979), dealt with the admissibility of test results obtained as result of a medical examination which the defendant voluntarily sought after suffering symptoms of venereal disease while charged with rape and incarcerated in the parish prison.

1987In State v. Rowell, 505 So.2d 978 (La.App. 3 Cir.1987), this Court held that the regulations in effect pertaining to the testing of blood to determine alcohol content do not address any of the mandatory requirements to assure accuracy and reliability of the test results, and that, therefore, it would have been impossible for the state to prove the admissibility of the test results in view of the existing inadequate regulations.

1987Based upon our decision in Rowell, supra, the motion to suppress is granted.
