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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In State v. White, 552 So.2d 553 (La.App. 2d Cir.1989), the defendant engaged in aggravated rape and aggravated crime against nature with his [eleven]-year-old niece over a [nineteen]month period of time. This court found no abuse of discretion in imposing consecutive, maximum sentences. There, as here, the defendant’s conduct threatened serious emotional harm to the victim; she was undergoing counseling; and the misconduct occurred over a lengthy period of time in which the defendant had time to reflect on his actions. In State v. Racine, 480 So.2d 945 (La.App. 2d Cir.1985), the defendant pled guilty to three counts of incest with his [sixteen]-year-old daughter. This court affirmed three consecutive [twelve]-year sentences. The defendant there, as here, had no felony criminal history. The trial court noted that sexual crimes of this nature — between father and daughter — are the most despicable in our society. There too, the acts occurred over a period of time which was held to justify the imposition of consecutive sentences. The victim here was much younger than in Racine . And see State v. Childs, 466 So.2d 1363 (La.App. 3d Cir.1985), which held that the rape of one’s underage daughter is among the most serious violations of the crime of forcible rape and, based solely on the nature of the offense, a maximum sentence can be imposed.”
