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.

“"The Code of Criminal Procedure sets forth the items which must be considered by the trial judge before passing sentence. C.Cr.P. 894.1. The trial judge need not recite the entire checklist of article 894.1, but the record must reflect that the judge adequately considered the guidelines. State v. Soco, 441 So.2d 719 (La.1983); State v. Trahan, 412 So.2d 1294, 1296 (La.1982). The judge must, in effect, justify his sentence with factual reasons. State v. Soco, supra; State v. Jones, 398 So.2d 1049, 1052 (La.1981). Even in the absence of adequate compliance with the mandate of article 894.1, it is not necessary for this court to remand the matter for resentencing in compliance with the article when the sentence imposed is not apparently severe in relation to the particular offender or the actual offense committed. State v. Jones, 381 So.2d 416 (La.1980)...."”
