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.

1. “While we do not decide the issue in his case we note that the circumstances of this case do not necessarily support the same result as in Montoya even if there had been timely objection at trial. First, as in State v. Mosley, 390 So.2d 1302 (La.1980), the examination did not stress or emphasize defendant's right to remain silent; and, second, there is some question that this short colloquy at the very beginning of the trial left such an impression on the jurors that it had any effect on their deliberations. If the issue were properly before us these considerations might support the conclusion that the questioning constituted harmless error at worst as in State v. Procell [ 365 So.2d 484 (La.1978) ], supra. Id. at 1229.”

2. “Q. When you say you picked him up, tell the members of the jury exactly what you did? A. I went over to the Lockup and I brought him back to the station, typed up the necessary papers to have him booked, and then brought him back to the Lockup under arrest. Q. Did you tell him what his rights were? A. Yes, I did. Q. What rights are these? A. I advised him of his constitutional rights. I used a little card. I don't happen to have it on me, but it's down in the car. Q. Did he make any statement? A. No, he didn't make any statement. BY MR. MOSELEY: No further questions. Id. at 1228 .”
