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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The evidence is clearly admissible to establish guilty knowledge. Evidence of the commission of similar and separate crimes related to and connected with the crime charged is admissible to show guilty knowledge. (Citing Cases and Statutes) * * * In the Reinhardt case [State v. Reinhardt, 229 La. 673 , 86 So.2d 530 ] we quoted the following from the case of State v. Montgomery, 170 La. 203 , 127 So. 601 , 602: ‘But, whenever the evidence of the commission of another crime, other than the crime for which the defendant is on trial, is relevant to the question of his guilt or innocence of the crime charged, the evidence of the commission of the other crime should not be excluded merely because of its prejudicial effect.’ ””
