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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““LSA-C.Cr.P. art. 921 provides that: A judgment or ruling shall not be reversed by an appellate court because of any error, defect, irregularity, or variance which does not affect substantial rights of the accused. In State v. Gibson, 391 So.2d 421 (La.1980), the Louisiana Supreme Court adopted the ‘harmless error’ test of Chapman v. California, 386 U.S. 18 , 87 S.Ct. 824 , 17 L.Ed.2d 705 (1967). Under the ‘harmless error’ test, it must be determined ‘whether there is a reasonable possibility that the admission or exclusion of certain evidence, depending on the case, might have contributed to the conviction’ and further that the reviewing court ‘must be able to declare that the error was “harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.” ’ State v. Martin, 458 So.2d 454, 459 (La.1984); Gibson, supra.””
