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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is fundamental under our law that the State in all criminal trials allege and prove the venue of the offense. Section 9 of Article 1 of the Constitution, as amended by Act 528 of 1962, declares in part: ‘ * * * all trials shall take place in the parish in which the offense is committed, unless the venue be changed * * * ’ Also the jurisprudence of this Court is now firmly settled that, since the question of venue in a criminal case is one of fact, which does not pertain to the guilt or innocence of the accused, it may be raised In limine and, when it is, there is no constitutional prohibition precluding either the trial judge or this Court from deciding the issue. Indeed, these cases hold that the defendant in a criminal prosecution has the right to have the question of venue decided before he is compelled to go to trial.”
