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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A trial court has great discretion in determining the qualifications of experts and the effect and weight to be given expert testimony. Experience alone is sufficient to qualify a person as an expert. Absent a clear abuse of the trial court’s discretion in accepting a witness as an expert, appellate courts will not reject the testimony of an expert or find reversible error. The Uniform Act on Blood Tests to Determine Paternity, LSA-R.S. 9:396, et seq., authorizes the introduction of blood test results without the necessity of personal appearance and live testimony of an expert. Should an expert testify, however, he need not be the individual who actually drew the blood, performed the tests, or compiled the statistics for comparison. He may rely on data compiled by other technicians.”
