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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “In the present case, it is apparent that Detective Vincent was not browbeating Hebert hoping to wear him down to get him to confess; instead, it appears that the detective first wanted to inform Hebert what evidence he had indicating that he and Gaspard may have been involved in the robbery and murder. Since Hebert was again informed of his Miranda rights, and the detective went over the rights form Hebert signed previously with Detective Gibson, Hebert’s decision to change his mind and again waive his rights and speak with Detective Vincent was voluntary and intelligent and not the product of police misconduct.”

2. “Green, managed the Green Oaks Lounge on Guilbeau Road in Lafayette. The lounge was owned by his mother, Jewel Green, and Jerry Green lived with her. It was Mr. Green's routine to close the lounge at 2:00 a.m. and return later in the morning to clean and stock the lounge. On September 22, 1992, the lounge was burglarized and the cash box was stolen. As a result, Mr. Green began taking the cash home with him every night after he closed the lounge. In the morning of October 2, 1992, Mrs. Green could not locate her son at their home, and her calls to the lounge went unanswered. Carroll”

3. “A law enforcement officer may stop a person in a public place whom he reasonably suspects is committing, has committed, or is about to commit an offense and may demand of him his name, address, and an explanation of his actions. Therefore, an investigatory stop must be justified by some objective manifestation that the person stopped is, or is about to be engaged in criminal activity, or there must be reasonable grounds to believe that the person has committed or is wanted for past criminal conduct [citations omitted.]”
