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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A defendant is to be tried under the statute in effect at the time of the commission of the crime. That a statute is subsequently amended to modify or lessen the possible penalty does not extinguish liability for the offense committed under the former statute. R.S. 24:171; State v. Narcisse, 426 So.2d 118 (La.1983) cert. den. Narcisse v. Louisiana, 464 U.S. 865 , 104 S.Ct. 202 , 78 L.Ed.2d 176 (1983).”
