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 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Consequently, when the state seeks to introduce a confession, admission or declaration against a defendant which contains other crimes evidence, but which is otherwise fully admissible, the defendant has two options. He may waive his right to have the whole statement used, object to the other crimes evidence, and require the court to excise it before admitting the statement; or, he may insist on his right to have the statement used in its entirety so as to receive any exculpation or explanation that the whole statement may afford." State v. Morris, 429 So.2d 111 at 121 (La., 1983).”
10 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Vinet · State v. Pierre“As to the mental qualities of intelligence and memory, a distinction must be made between attacks on competency and attacks on credibility. Sanity in any general sense is not the test of competency, and a so-called insane person may testify if he is able to report correctly the matters to which he testifies and if he understands the duty to speak the truth. McCormick on Evidence, § 45, p. 94 (Clearly Ed.1972). Mental abnormality either at the time of observing the facts or at the time of testifying, however, will be provable on cross examination or by extrinsic evidence, as bearing on credibility. State v. Landry, 359 So.2d 99 (La.1978); State v. Luckett, 327 So.2d 365, 372 (La.1976) (on rehearing); McCormick, supra; Pugh and McClelland, Work of the Appellate Court for the 1976-1977 Term-Evidence, 37 La. L.Rev. 585 (1977).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"A change of venue shall be granted when the applicant proves that by reason of prejudice existing in the public mind or because of undue influence, or that for any other reason, a fair and impartial trial cannot be obtained in the parish where the prosecution is pending. In deciding whether to grant a change of venue the court shall consider whether the prejudice, the influence, or the other reasons are such that they will affect the answers of jurors on the voir dire examination or the testimony of witnesses at the trial."”
