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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Accessory after the fact" is defined: "An accessory after the fact is any person who, after the commission of a felony, shall harbor, conceal, or aid the offender, knowing or having reasonable ground to believe that he has committed the felony, and with the intent that he may avoid or escape from arrest, trial, conviction, or punishment." R.S. 14:25.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“". . . This corresponds to the common law and usual statutory definition of accessories after the fact except in one particular. While the common law rule required actual knowledge that the person aided had committed a felony, the definition adopted makes it sufficient that the accessory after the fact knew or had `reasonable ground to believe' that the one assisted had committed a felony. Proof of actual knowledge is sometimes very difficult; and the really innocent accomplice after the fact will be protected by the concluding requirement that the assistance must be rendered `with the intent that he may avoid or escape from arrest, trial, conviction, or punishment.' Generally speaking, virtually any sort of aid given to a fugitive felon, to hinder his being arrested, tried or punished, will make the person assisting an accessory after the factas furnishing a car, food, shelter or money to help him escape or elude the lawful authorities, or using force or threats to rescue or protect him.. . ."”
