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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is well settled that once a probationary period has elapsed the defendant has automatically satisfied the sentence imposed. C.Cr.P. art. 898 (see Official Revised Comment (b)); State v. Jones, 285 So.2d 231 (La.1973); State v. Martens, 338 So.2d 95 (La.1976). Further, a non-fugitive defendant can be ordered to appear before a court to answer charges concerning possible probation violations only during the period of probation or suspension of sentence. C.Cr.P. art. 899; State v. Harris, 342 So.2d 179 (La.1977); State v. Martens, supra. In the instant case, no summons relating to a possible violation of a condition of probation was issued to Weysham during his one-year probationary period. As a result, defendant’s probation was never suspended and it was successfully completed on April 20, 1978, one year after his sentence was imposed. C.Cr.P. art. 899; State v. Martens, supra; see also State ex rel. DeGreat v. Phelps, 377 So.2d 341 (La.1979). Once Weysham satisfied the sentence imposed, his 12probation could not be revoked and he could not be subjected to a term of imprisonment. See State v. Jones, supra.”
