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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Article I, § 20 of the Louisiana Constitution prohibits the imposition of excessive punishment. A sentence may be reviewed for excessiveness even though it is well within statutory guidelines. La.C.Cr.P. art. 881.2; State v. Cann, 471 So,2d 701 (La.1985), State v. Clements, 94r-2217 (La.App. 4 Cir. 11/16/95), 665 So.2d 137 . The imposition of a sentence may be unconstitutionally excessive if it is grossly out of proportion to the severity of the crime or is nothing more hathan the purposeless imposition of pain and suffering. State v. Brogdon, 457 So.2d 616 (La.1984), certiorari denied, Brogdon v. Louisiana, 471 U.S. 1111 , 105 S.Ct. 2845 , 85 L.Ed.2d 862 (1985). To insure adequate review by the appellate court, the record must indicate that the trial court considered factors set forth in the sentencing guidelines. La. C.Cr.P. art. 894.1.”
