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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “According to C.Cr.P. Art. 202, a warrant must be supported by an affidavit from a complainant and is improperly issued if it is not. C.Cr.P. Art. 385 provides that an affidavit must be executed under oath. See State v. Mims, 552 So.2d 664 (2nd Cir.1989) and State v. O'Doyle, 539 So.2d 1273 (3rd Cir.1989). C.Cr.P. Art. 209 permits the use of a summons instead of a warrant, provided the requirements of C.Cr.P. Art. 202 are met. [ State v. ] Davis, [ 562 So.2d 936 (5th Cir.1990) ] supra. Thus, a summons which lacks a supporting affidavit is improperly issued and cannot be used to institute a proceeding to revoke probation. Davis, supra.”
