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 55 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A mere reference to the hill of information shows that the defendant in this case was charged in the precise language of the Code of Criminal Procedure, as amended by Act No. 147 of 1942. There was, therefore, no necessity for including in such charge the averment that the taking of the automobile by the defendant was with the intention of depriving the owner thereof permanently to make it valid or to distinguish it from the crime of ‘Unauthorized use of movables’ defined in Article 68 of the Criminal Code. State v. Miller, 170 La. 51 , 127 So. 361 ; State v. White, 172 La. 1045 , 136 So. 47 ; State v. Ducre, 173 La. 438 , 137 So. 745 ; and State v. Digilormo, 200 La. 895 , 9 So.2d 221 . Furthermore, the defendant’s constitutional guarantee that he shall be fully apprised in the accusation of the charge against him is amply protected by the provision in this same article ‘That the District Attorney, if requested by the accused prior to arraignment may be required by the Judge to furnish a bill of particulars setting up more specifically the nature of the offense charged.’ State v. Brooks, 173 La. 9 , 136 So. 71 ; State v. Dark, 195 La. 139 , 196 So. 47 .””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Roshto · State v. Holmes“"We are inclined to think that the words `any system or code of laws,' as used in the article, means systems or codes of laws other than our ownsystems of law, codes of law in vogue in other countries and jurisdictions; that these are not to be adopted by merely a general reference to the same, but that such systems or codes, or the several provisions of the same, wanted to be adopted or enacted here, are to be recited at length in the adopting act." "The General Assembly in enacting the statute of 1884 did not `adopt' a `system or code of laws by general reference to such system or code of laws,' within the meaning of the constitutional provision. The statute makes, merely, a particular reference to two articles of the Civil Code, a system of laws long since adopted in Louisiana, and this in aid only of its purpose to define accurately the crime of incest which the act denounces and punishes."”
