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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“1) the possibility of avoiding the necessity of taking human life by retreat; 2) the excitement and confusion of the occasion; 3) the possibility of preventing the danger to herself by using force less than the killing; and 4) the defendant's knowledge of her assailant's dangerous character.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“immediately caused by provocation sufficient to deprive an average person of his self control and cool reflection. State v. Lee, 498 So.2d 1177 (La.App. 3d Cir.), writ denied, 504 So.2d 874 (La.1986).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“It is well settled that requested charges which are already substantially given and covered by the trial court's general charge are properly refused. LSA-C.Cr.P. art. 807; State v. Matthews, 380 So.2d 43 (La. 1980). The trial court's given charge defined `justifiable homicide' sufficiently to inform the jury that the possibility of retreat is only a factor to be considered and not an absolute duty on the part of the defendant. The trial court was, therefore, not required to give the defendant's requested charge which was essentially to the same effect. 498 So.2d at 1180 .”
