Huggins v. State

Summary

The court held that a defendant who timely litigates and loses a suppression motion does not waive appellate review merely because counsel later says "no objection" when the State introduces the challenged evidence at trial. The court harmonized the applicable rules by treating the pretrial suppression ruling as binding and preserved, while reserving trial objections for other evidentiary grounds. The court vacated the intermediate appellate judgment and remanded for consideration of the suppression appeal on its merits.
