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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “As a general proposition the State is not required to produce the physical evidence it intends to use at the trial. Exceptions to this rule have recognized the right of a defendant to view and copy his written confession in the possession of the prosecutor, State v. Dorsey, 207 La. 928 , 22 So.2d 273 (1945); to obtain production of a taped confession, State v. Hall, 253 La. 425 , 218 So.2d 320 (1969); or some of the confiscated narcotic evidence in a narcotic prosecution, State v. Migliore, 261 La. 722 , 260 So.2d 682 (1970). When proper allegations support a finding that the defendant acted in self-defense and specifies that the weapon sought was used by the alleged victim against the defendant, supporting a claim of self-defense, we have required production of the weapon by the State. State v. Woodruff, 281 So.2d 95 (La.1973).”

2. “Defense counsel objected that the question called for hearsay. Despite the prosecutor's argument that the victim's declarations were part of the res gestae, the court sustained the objection. Thereafter no objection was made to questions propounded by the prosecutor. This assignment has no merit. For the reasons assigned, the conviction and sentence are affirmed. CALOGERO, J., concurs.
