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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Defendant argues specifically that the trial court failed to comply with the statutory guidelines by failing to enumerate existing mitigating circumstances. The sentencing judge mentioned only one circumstance mitigating against a heavier sentence, and that was that defendant's criminal record contained no serious offenses. The trial court was not made aware of any other mitigating circumstances and therefore did not commit reversible error in failing to mention any. See State v. Smith, 404 So.2d 210 (La. 1981). Both during the preparation of the presentence investigation report and at the sentencing hearing the defendant was afforded an opportunity to provide mitigating factors, but he did not do so. Where the record clearly illumines the sentencing choice, the failure to comply fully with art. 894.1 does not invalidate the sentence. State v. Martin, 400 So.2d 1063 (La.1981); State v. Roberts, 427 So.2d 1300 (La.App. 2nd Cir.1983).”
