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.

  1. “Despite a lack of Louisiana jurisprudence addressing the issue of waiver of conflict-free counsel in the context of an attorney's switching sides in a criminal prosecution, it is plain that for a defendant to knowingly and intelligently waive his right to request recusal, the defendant must be aware of the implications of the conflict of interest as well as the defendant's right to request recusal.... ... In particular, the trial court ordinarily should engage in a colloquy with the defendant, advise the defendant of the implications of his former counsel's representing the state in his prosecution, and attempt to obtain a narrative response from the defendant. The narrative response should indicate that the defendant has been advised of his right to request recusal, that he understands the implications of his former attorney representing the state, that he has discussed the matter with an attorney, and that he voluntarily waives his right to request a recusal.”
