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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When several charges against a defendant are consolidated, the law considers-all charges as if they were originally joined in a single bill of information, and as a result the total possible punishment is the sum of the maximum possible for each charge. State v. Williams, 404 So.2d 954 (La.1981) (citation omitted). A defendant is entitled to a jury trial when he is exposed to a maximum aggregate penalty exceeding six months imprisonment. La. Const. Art. 1, sec. 17; State v. Laurendine, 439 So.2d 398 (La.1983); State v. Bouehe, [supra.] [ 485 So.2d 950 (La.App. 5 Cir.1986) ] Waiver of defendant’s right to trial by jury is never presumed. State v. Mc Carroll, 337 So.2d 475 (La.1976); State v. Bouche, supra.”
