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 64 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Initially, it is noteworthy that defense counsel only objected to the complained of testimony at trial as being hearsay and irrelevant. There was no contemporaneous objection made on the grounds that the statements were highly inflammatory in nature. Thus, the provisions of La.C.Cr.P. art. 841, which require a contemporaneous objection and the grounds therefore to preserve appellate review of a trial error were not satisfied. We have held that the grounds of counsel's objections must be sufficiently brought to the attention of the trial judge to allow him the opportunity to make the proper ruling and correct any claimed prejudice to the defendant. Therefore, a new ground for objection cannot be presented for the first time on appeal. It is settled that a new basis for an objection cannot be substituted on appeal and that only the grounds made known to the trial judge at the time of his ruling may be relied on by this court. Thus, this argument is untimely and not properly before us for review.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“A. Perjury is the intentional making of a false written or oral statement in or for use in a judicial proceeding!)] In order to constitute perjury the false statement must be made under sanction of oath ... and must relate to matter material to the issue or question in controversy. |SB. It is a necessary element of the offense that the accused knew the statement to be false, but an unqualified statement of that which one does not know or definitely believe to be true is equivalent to a statement of that which he knows to be false.

2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Marrero · State v. King“Relevant evidence tends to show or negate the commission of the offense or intent. La. R.S. 15:441. Thus, relevancy is determined by the purpose for which the evidence is offered. La. R.S. 15:442. See also State v. Weems, 358 So.2d 285 (La.1978). It is well settled that a determination of relevance lies within the discretion of the trial judge and will not be disturbed absent a clear showing of abuse of that discretion. State v. Miles, 402 So.2d 644 (La.1981).”
