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.
“"... the use for the impeachment purposes of a prior conviction void for failure to afford defendant his right to counsel, or otherwise so involuntary that the reliability of the conviction is impaired, deprives an accused of due process of law. Loper v. Beto, 405 U.S. 473 , 92 S.Ct. 1014 , 31 L.Ed.2d 374 (1972); Burgett v. Texas, 389 U.S. 109 , 88 S.Ct. 258 , 19 L.Ed.2d 319 (1967); State v. Bernard, 326 So.2d 332 (La.1976); Cf. Mincey v. Arizona, 437 U.S. 385 , 98 S.Ct. 2408 , 57 L.Ed.2d 290 (1978); Harris v. New York, 401 U.S. 222 , 91 S.Ct. 643 , 28 L.Ed.2d 1 (1971). The burden of proof rests with the defendant. See Loper v. Beto, supra; State v. Bernard, supra. "Our recent decisions in State v. Lewis, supra, and State v. Holden, 375 So.2d 1372 (La.1979), relative to the use of prior convictions to enhance subsequent penalties, were not intended to change the rules of law applicable to impeachment nor to shift any burden of proof in such situations to the state."
