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.
“The failure of the state to obtain a rap sheet prior to such questioning is of no effect. La.C.Cr.P. art. 717 provides that upon motion of the defendant, the court shall order the district attorney or the appropriate law enforcement agency to furnish to defendant a copy of any record of his criminal arrests and convictions that is in their possession or custody; accordingly, the defendant was entitled to a copy of any rap sheet or record of his criminal arrest and conviction in the possession of the state. See State v. Clement, 368 So.2d 1037 (La.1979). However, there is no duty on the part of the state to disclose information which it does not possess. State v. Alpine, 404 So.2d 213 (La.1981). Accordingly, exclusion of the evidence, a sanction of La.C.Cr.P. art. 729.5 is not a sanction which is available where there is nothing [here, a rap sheet] to disclose.”
