Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The trial court has wide discretion in imposing a sentence. Absent a manifest abuse of that discretion, we will not deem a sentence excessive. State v. Pyke , 95-919 (La.App. 3 Cir. 3/6/96) , 670 So.2d 713 . The appellate court should consider the nature of the crime, the background of the offender, and the sentences imposed for similar crimes in making its determination. State v. Telsee , 425 So.2d 1251 (La.1983). A sentence will only be deemed constitutionally excessive if it is grossly out of proportion to the seriousness of the offense. State v. Dorthey , 623 So.2d 1276 (La.1993). In addition, "[m]aximum sentences are reserved for the most serious violations and the worst offenders." State v. Farhood , 02-490, p. 11 (La.App. 5 Cir. 3/25/03), 844 So.2d 217 , 225.”
