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.
“"Probable cause exists when the facts and circumstances known to the arresting officer, and of which he has reasonably trustworthy information, are sufficient to justify a person of ordinary caution in believing that the person to be arrested has committed a crime. State v. Davis, 357 So.2d 519 (La.1978) ; State v. Dunbar, 356 So.2d 956 (La.1978) ; State v. Johnson, 249 La. 950 , 192 So.2d 135 (1966) . To determine the existence of probable cause, the court must examine the ` "facts and circumstances within the arresting officer's knowledge, and of which he has reasonably trustworthy information;"' State v. Linkletter, 345 So.2d 452 (La. 1977) ; and do so in light of the experience of reasonable people, not legal technicians. Brinegar v. United States, 338 U.S. 160 , 69 S.Ct. 1302 , 93 L.Ed. 1879 (1949) . Probable cause is not absolute cause. Actions of lawmen, therefore, may be supported by less evidence than would justify a conviction. The strength of the requisite probable cause varies with the magnitude of the intrusion and the alternatives available to the peace officer. In the first instance the determination of probable cause is a matter for the trial judge depending, as it often does, upon factual determinations and the credibility of witnesses."”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"A peace officer may, without a warrant, arrest a person when : . . . . . (3) The peace officer has reasonable cause to believe that the person to be arrested has committed an offense, although not in the presence of the officer..." [3]”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“THE COURT: Let the record reflect that the jury has requested some items. They want Exhibits 1 through 10, which are the pictures and the pictures and the arrest reports and so forth except the gun is not necessary. I think S-5 is the gun. So, they want 1 through 10 except S-5. The Court will now instruct the clerk to make those exhibits available to the jury. And the note that they sent to the Court will be put into the record. The court will again stand at recess. La.C.Cr.P. art. 793 provides: A juror must rely upon his memory in reaching a verdict. He shall not be permitted to refer to notes or to have access to any written evidence. Testimony shall not be repeated to the jury. Upon the request of a juror and in the discretion of the court, the jury may take with it or have sent to it any object or document received in evidence when a physical examination thereof is required to enable the jury to arrive at a verdict.”
