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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A. Indecent behavior with juveniles is the commission by anyone over the age of seventeen of any lewd or lascivious act upon the person or in the presence of any child under the age of seventeen, where there is an age difference of greater than two years between the two persons, with the intention of arousing or gratifying the sexual desires of either person. Lack of knowledge of the child’s age shall not be a defense. B. The trial judge shall have the authority to issue any necessary orders to protect the safety of the child during the pendency of the criminal action and beyond its conclusion. C. Whoever commits the crime of indecent behavior with juveniles shall be fined not more than five thousand dollars or imprisoned with or without hard labor for not more than seven years, or both.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The fourteenth amendment to the United States Constitution protects individuals from incursions by the state into certain areas of their lives. A statute is overbroad and, thus, constitutionally defective if it extends state criminal authority beyond the proper reach of government into one of these protected private areas. [Citations omitted.] Hence, overbreadth is a concept which applies only to cases where a constitutionally protected right is claimed in the prosecution. State v. Cox, 352 So.2d 638 (La.1977).”
