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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Res gestae are events speaking for themselves under the immediate pressure of the occurrence, through the instructive, impulsive and spontaneous words and acts of the participants, and not the words of the participants when narrating the events. What forms any part of the res gestae is always admissible in evidence.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Hall · State v. Jones“"In order to constitute res gestae, the circumstances and declarations must be necessary incidents of the criminal act, or immediate concomitants of it, or form, in conjunction with it one continuous chain. R.S. 15:448; State v. Sharp, 414 So.2d 752 (La.1982). Also evidence of other crimes which are part of the res gestae is always admissible without balancing its probative value against its prejudicial effect. (citations omitted). A very close connexity between the charged offense and the other crimes evidence sought to be introduced under the res gestae exception is required." Id. at 1117.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"The argument shall be confined to the evidence admitted, to the lack of evidence, the conclusions of fact that the state or defendant may draw therefrom, and to the law applicable to the case. The argument shall not appeal to prejudice. The state's rebuttal shall be confined to answering the argument of the defendant."”
