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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The theory of the imperfect right of self-defense acknowledges that there are homicides which fall short of self-defense, but holds that those homicides should not constitute murder, where the defendant’s honest but erroneous belief of imminent harm is less than reasonable, Louisiana law does not provide for any mitigating circumstance resembling the theory of “imperfect self-defense.” See State v. Johnson, 98-1407, pp. 7-8 (La.App. 1st Cir. 4/1/99), 734 So.2d 800, 805-06 , writ denied, 99-1386 (La.10/1/99), 748 So.2d 439 .”
