1986In State v. Trudell, 350 So.2d 658 (La. 1977), at page 661, the court restated the rule laid down in State v. Glover, supra: "While a claim of mental illness normally requires a defendant to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that he has a mental illness, where the voluntariness of his confession is at issue the state, having the burden of establishing that the confession was voluntary, still retains that burden.

Police Jury, 216 La. 798 , 44 So.2d 872, 876 , the Court restated this principle, upori the basis of a number of cases there cited, in the following language: “Furthermore, an intervenor must take the suit as he finds it without raising issues between the defendant and the plaintiff which they have not themselves raised and must have recourse to a separate suit if he wishes to inject new issues.” We think this provision and the salutary principle upon which it rests would be defeated and rendered absolutely nugatory if it could be said that an in
