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 47 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Each coconspirator is deemed to assent to or to commend whatever is said or done in furtherance of the common enterprise, and it is therefore of no moment that such act was done or such declaration was made out of the presence of the conspirator sought to be bound thereby, or whether the conspirator doing such act or making such declaration be or be not on trial with his codefendant. But to have this effect a prima facie case of conspiracy must have been established.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"Even assuming that the best evidence rule should and does apply to real evidence, this assignment does not present reversible error. Defendant has simply not shown how the defense was impaired by the introduction of the picture of the watch as opposing to the watch itself. Absent a showing of some prejudice to the defendant, the `best evidence' rule will not be applied unreasonably. See State v. Fallon, 290 So.2d 273, 290 (La. 1974)."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“La.Code Crim.P. art. 712 provides: A motion for continuance, if timely filed, may be granted, in the discretion of the court, in any case if there is good ground therefor.”
