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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A prosecutor's predictions as to the consequences of a not guilty verdict, or the societal costs of such a result, are clearly improper and should be avoided. State v. Barrow , 410 So.2d 1070 (La.1982), cert. denied , 459 U.S. 852 , 103 S.Ct. 115 , 74 L.Ed.2d 101 [ (1982) ]. Accordingly, a prosecutor should refrain from argument which tends to divert the jury from its duty to decide the case on the evidence by injecting issues broader than the guilt or innocence of the accused. State v. Guillory , 461 So.2d 492 (La.App. 3d Cir.1984).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"In order to raise this issue on appeal, the defense must have made a timely objection during the trial. At no point during the prosecutor's closing argument did the defense object to the alleged prejudicial remarks. Generally, the defense cannot avail itself of an error which was not objected to at the time of its occurrence. LSA-C.Cr.P.Arts. 841, 920." State v. Williams, 524 So.2d 1221 , at pages 1231-1232 (La.App. 3 Cir.1988), writ den., 530 So.2d 93 (La.1988).”
