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 defendant further-contends-that, if any criminal intent at all is proved, it is to deprive the owner of his property permanently, not temporarily. Thus, he argues, the crime of theft, La.R.S. 14:67 may have been proved, but not that of unauthorized use of movables, La.R.S. 14:68:' The chief difference between theft and the latter lesser crime is the lack of an intention in the latter case to deprive the owner permanently of his property. However, La.R.S. 14:5 provides: “An offender who commits an. offense which includes all the elements of other lesser offenses, may be prosecuted fop and convicted of either the greater .offense or one of the lesser and included offenses. * * *" Unauthorized use is a - lesser and included offense of theft, because theft includes all the elements of unauthorized use — plus the intent to deprive permanently (instead of only temporarily) the owner of his property. .Unauthorized use is, in fact, a. responsive verdict to theft. Accordingly, any evidence that the accused took the property of another with the intent to deprive him of it permanently (i.e., theft) is likewise sufficient to prove the lesser offense here charged (i.e., unauthorized use), even though in the latter ease the requisite intent is only to deprive the owner temporarily of his property. We therefore find no merit to the defendant’s contention.”
