State ex rel. Goodchild v. Burke, 27 Wis.2d 244, 264, 133 N.W.2d 753, 763 (1965): In the interest of better administration of criminal justice we suggest that wherever practicable the pros- ecutor should within a reasonable time before trial no- tify the defense as to whether any alleged confession or admission will be offered in evidence at the trial. We also suggest, in cases where such notice is given by the prosecution, that the defense, if it intends to attack the confession or admission as involuntary, notify the prosecutor of a desire by the defense for a special deter- mination on such issue. See also State ex rel. Rasmussen v. Tahash, 272 Minn. 539, 553–556, 141 N.W.2d 3, 13–15 (1965): At the time of arraignment when a defendant pleads not guilty, or as soon as possible thereafter, the state will advise the court as to whether its case against the defendant will include evidence obtained as the result of a search and seizure; evidence discovered because of a confession or statements in the nature of a confession obtained from the defendant; or confessions or state- ments in the nature of confessions. Upon being so informed, the court will formally ad- vise the attorney for the defendant (or the defendant himself if he refuses legal counsel) that he may, if he chooses, move the court to suppress the evidence so se- cured or the confession so obtained if his contention is that such evidence was secured or confession obtained in violation of defendant’s constitutional rights. * * * The procedure which we have outlined deals only with evidence obtained as the result of a search and sei- zure and evidence consisting of or produced by confes- sion on the part of the defendant. However, the steps which have been suggested as a method of dealing with evidence of this type will indicate to counsel and to the trial courts that the pretrial consideration of other evi- dentiary problems, the resolution of which is needed to assure the integrity of the trial when conducted, will be most useful and that this court encourages the use of such procedures whenever practical.

Subdivision (e) provides that the court shall rule on a pretrial motion before trial unless the court orders Page 55 TITLE 18, APPENDIX—RULES OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE Rule 12 that it be decided upon at the trial of the general issue or after verdict. This is the old rule. The reference to issues which must be tried by the jury is dropped as un- necessary, without any intention of changing current law or practice. The old rule begs the question of when a jury decision is required at the trial, providing only that a jury is necessary if ‘‘required by the Constitu- tion or an act of Congress.’’ It will be observed that subdivision (e) confers general authority to defer the determination of any pretrial motion until after ver- dict. However, in the case of a motion to suppress evi- dence the power should be exercised in the light of the possibility that if the motion is ultimately granted a retrial of the defendant may not be permissible. Subdivision (f) provides that a failure to raise the ob- jections or make the requests specified in subdivision (b) constitutes a waiver thereof, but the court is al- lowed to grant relief from the waiver if adequate cause is shown. See X. Xxxxxx, Federal Practice and Proce- dure: Criminal § 192 (1969), where it is pointed out that the old rule is unclear as to whether the waiver results only from a failure to raise the issue prior to trial or from the failure to do so at the time fixed by the judge for a hearing. The amendment makes clear that the de- fendant and, where appropriate, the government have an obligation to raise the issue at the motion date set by the judge pursuant to subdivision (c). Subdivision (g) requires that a verbatim record be made of pretrial motion proceedings and requires the judge to make a record of his findings of fact and con- clusions of law. This is desirable if pretrial rulings are to be subject to post-conviction review on the record. The judge may find and rule orally from the bench, so long as a verbatim record is taken. There is no neces- sity of a separate written memorandum containing the judge’s findings and conclusions. Subdivision (h) is essentially old rule 12(b)(5) except for the deletion of the provision that defendant may plead if the motion is determined adversely to him or, if he has already entered a plea, that that plea stands. This language seems unnecessary particularly in light of the experience in some district courts where a pro forma plea of not guilty is entered at the arraignment, pretrial motions are later made, and depending upon the outcome the defendant may then change his plea to guilty or persist in his plea of not guilty.
