The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. “At sentencing on April 29, 1992, counsel’s extensive argument on the mitigating circumstances in the defendant’s background, and his request that the court reconsider its weighing of those mitigating circumstances under the new Sentencing Guidelines, fully informed the trial judge of the defendant’s specific objections to the sentence that the court would thereafter impose. Counsel’s argument and objection' satisfied the requirement of La.C.Cr.P. art. 881.1A(2), governing motions for reconsideration of sentence, that the defendant make known orally “at the time of sentencing ... the specific grounds on which the motion is based.” See State v. Singleton, 614 So.2d 1243 (La.1993), decided March 19,1993.”
