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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Defense counsel told the jury in his opening statement that the evidence would show that Gaines [the defendant] was picked up in Baton Rouge by two acquaintances he knew and asked if he wanted to take a ride, that he thought they were going to Avoyelles Parish to see friends of one of the men, that Gaines realized something was wrong and that money had been taken only after leaving the bank, that there was not a whole lot he could have done, and that he was afraid and frightened. The comments made by the attorney in his opening statement are not evidence, nor do they amount to a judicial admission or stipulation. The comments by defense counsel as to what facts he thought the evidence would establish did not amount to a stipulation of facts or a judicial declaration or admission of facts binding on the defendant or subject to consideration by the jury or by the reviewing appellate court. The asserted facts on which the state relies to infer Gaines' participation in the theft were not established by the evidence presented to the jury and cannot be considered in determining whether Gaines' guilt was established in accordance with the Jackson and Austin standards.”
