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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The trial judge need not articulate every aggravating and mitigating circumstance, however, the record must reflect an adequate consideration of the art. 894.1 guidelines. State v. Grey, 408 So.2d 1239 (La.1982). The requirements of art. 894.1 are met when the trial judge states the considerations taken into account, and the factual basis therefore, in imposing sentence. State v. Donahue, 408 So.2d 1262 (La.1982). Where the record clearly illumines the sentencing choice, the failure to fully comply with art. 894.1 does not invalidate the sentence. State v. Martin, 400 So.2d 1063 (La.1981); State v. Green, 409 So.2d 563 (La.1982). [Emphasis added.]”
