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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]n the absence of a showing of some affirmative action by the defendant indicating the waiver of the provisions of LRS 15:521 [predecessor to C.Cr.P. art. 873], a sentence imposed within the twenty-four hour period [three-day period under C.Cr.P. art. 873] is illegal and void[,] and ... such [a] defect is one of which this court must take notice, even though the defendant did not object to sentencing at the time.”
