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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A defendant who seeks to suppress an identification must prove both that the identification itself was suggestive and that there was a likelihood of misidentifi-cation as a result of the identification procedure. State v. Prudholm, 446 So.2d 729 (La.1984). State v. Smith, 520 So.2d 1305 (La.App. 5 Cir.1988). Photographs employed in a lineup are suggestive if they display a defendant so singularly that the witness’ attention is unduly focused on the defendant. Strict identity of physical characteristics among the persons depicted in the photo array is not required; all that is required is a sufficient resemblance to reasonably test the identification. State v. Smith, 430 So.2d 31 (La.1983); State v. Medford, 489 So.2d 957 (La.App. 5 Cir.1986). Even should the identification be considered suggestive, this alone does not violate due process, for it is the likelihood of misidentification which violates due process, not merely the suggestive identification procedure. State v. Isaac, 542 So.2d 651 (La.App. 5 Cir.1989). [Emphasis in original and also supplied].”
