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.
“"Normally, reversal is required when trial error permits a jury to be exposed to an incriminating statement by the defendant, when that statement might not be admissible, if inquiry has been permitted which was curtailed by the erroneous trial ruling. State v. McGraw, 366 So.2d 1278, 1289-90 (La.1979). Nevertheless, when the error has occurred in a ruling during a hearing on a pre-trial motion to suppress a confession, our recent practice has been to remand the motion for a reopened hearing to admit the omitted or improperly excluded evidence. State v. Scott, 355 So.2d 231 (La.1978); State v. Hills, 354 So.2d 186 (La.1977); State v. Simmons, 328 So.2d 149 (La.1976). As we explained in Simmons, 328 So.2d 153 , by this practice `the error might be eliminated upon another trial of the motion to suppress,' and a new trial on the merits be avoided if in fact no error at such trial has occurred. State v. Edwards, 375 So.2d 1365, 1366 (La.1979)."”
