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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although the Louisiana Constitution grants to a criminal defendant the right to challenge jurors peremptorily, it does not give him the right to a specified number of challenges. The discretion to fix the number of challenges has been given to the legislature. State v. Bennett, 454 So.2d 1165, 1174 (La.App. 1st Cir.), writ denied, 460 So.2d 604 (La.1984). See also La. Code Crim. P. art. 799. Accordingly, we find that a system of exercising simultaneous peremptory challenges specifically provided in a local rule pursuant to Article 788 B does not violate Louisiana Constitution Article 1, § 17.”
