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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Before what purposes* to be a confession can be introduced in evidence, it must be affirmatively shown that it was free and voluntary, and not made under the influence of fear, duress, intimidation, menaces, threats, inducements or promises.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““If the accused is compelled to withhold his evidence tending to 'establish that the confession is not free and voluntary until such time as he offers his proof in defense, there would be very few cases where the purported confession would hot .get before the jury, because certainly the State is not going to offer evidence to prove that the confession was not free and voluntary. “The admissibility of a confession is a question which the trial judge must decide and not the jury. Jurors pass upon the effect of the confession after it has been held by the trial judge to be admissible as a result of the State laying the proper foundation for the introduction thereof. State v. Collens, 37 La.Ann. 607 ; State v. Bessa, et al, 115 La. 259 , 38 So. 985 ; State v. Woods, 124 La. 738 , 50 So. 671 ; State v. Chiasson, 174 La. 542 , 141 So. 54 .” (Brackets ours.)”
