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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the defendant's appropriate avenue of relief was the cross-examination of [the testifying co-defendant].”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“A. I think so." After those questions were asked, neither defendant nor the state sought to clarify Mr. Lyons' objectivity as a potential juror. After the questioning of potential jurors was completed, counsel were asked by the trial judge to indicate which jurors they would accept. At that time, defense counsel challenged Mr. Lyons for cause. The judge denied the request. Neither the judge nor the state attempted to rehabilitate Mr. Lyons. As a result of the judge's denial of the challenge for cause, the defendant was forced to use one of his peremptory challenges to excuse Mr. Lyons. La.C.Cr.P. art. 797 states that a juror may be dismissed for cause on the grounds that: (2) The juror is not impartial, whatever the cause of his partiality. An opinion or impression as to the guilt or innocence of the defendant shall not of itself be sufficient ground for challenge to a juror, if he declares, and the court is satisfied, that he can render an impartial verdict according to the law and the evidence; (3) The relationship, whether by blood, marriage, employment, friendship, or enmity between the juror and the defendant, the person injured by the offense, the district attorney, or defense counsel, is such that it is reasonable to conclude that it would influence the juror in arriving at a verdict.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“A. (1) Public bribery is the giving or offering to give, directly or indirectly, anything of apparent present or prospective value to any of the following persons, with the intent to influence his conduct in relation to his position, employment, or duty: . . . . (d) Witness, or person about to be called as a witness, upon a trial or other proceeding before any court, board, or officer authorized to hear evidence or to take testimony.”
