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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The use of a short-form indictment, as in this case, contemplates that the accused may procure details as to the alleged statutory method(s) by which he committed the crime charged through a bill of particulars. Official Revision Comment (b), La.C.Cr.P. art. 465 (authorizing short-form indictments). See also State v. Mason, 305 So.2d 523 (1974) and State v. Clark, 288 So.2d 612, 615-16 (1974) and jurisprudence therein summarized. Nevertheless, as in Mason , we are not prepared to hold that'reversible failure resulted from the state’s rather obstinate refusal to specify that, under the obvious facts and other admissions of the particulars, it was proceeding under both subsections. (Further, the state’s answer might possibly be so construed.) Taken as a whole, the short-form indictments adequately informed the accused of the nature and cause of the prosecution, and the factual basis upon which it was founded, insofar as constitutionally and statutorily required in order to afford the accused a fair opportunity to defend against the charges brought against them.”
