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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]rticle 884 allows the imposition of jail time in default of payment of a fine or costs. Although the article provides no exceptions to the general rule, it is well settled law that an indigent defendant may not be sentenced to additional jail time in default of payment of fine or costs. See State v. Conley, 570 So.2d 1161 (La.1990); State v. Trollman, 551 So.2d 28 (4th Cir. 1989); and State v. Newberry, 560 So.2d 121 (3rd Cir.1990). See also State v. Boynton, 537 So.2d 821 (5th Cir.1989).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“If a sentence imposed includes a fine or costs, the sentence shall provide that in default of payment thereof the defendant shall be imprisoned for a specified period not to exceed one year; provided that where the maximum prison sentence which may be imposed as a penalty for a misdemeanor is six months or less, the total period of imprisonment upon conviction of the offense, including imprisonment for default in payment of a fine or costs, shall not exceed six months for that offense.”
