4 later decisions quote this exact passage““Having reviewed the pre-sentence investigation report in light of Article 894.1 of our State Criminal Code of Procedure and the information contained in that report about the defendant and about this offense, together with the fact that he has been adjudged an habitual offender, Court has determined that a lengthy sentence of confinement is in order.””
