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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The trial court was well within its discretion in making the sentences under the present offense consecutive to the defendant's parole obligation under the prior offense. Code of Criminal Procedure article 883 allows for the imposition of consecutive sentences when the convictions are for offenses which arise from separate occurrences. In State v. Pruitt, 474 So.2d 491 (La.App. 4th Cir.1985), this Court affirmed the imposition of consecutive sentences for two armed robberies which occurred six weeks apart. The defendant in State v. Johnson, 489 So.2d 301 (La.App. 4th Cir. 1986) was convicted of armed robbery and found to be a multiple offender. He was sentenced to one hundred ninety-eight years at hard labor without benefit of probation, parole, or suspension of sentence. The sentence was made consecutive with a sentence imposed in an earlier conviction. This Court affirmed the imposition of consecutive sentences.”
