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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An inquiry by the court is required to insure that the accused is making a knowing and intelligent waiver. The nature of the requisite inquiry varies according to the circumstances and stage of the proceeding. State v. Strain, 585 So.2d 540 (La.1991). There is no record in the Sulphur case that the trial court inquired into the defendant's age, education, or mental condition. The defendant gave "Yes, sir" and "No, sir" answers to all questions. There is simply no way to ascertain, from the record of the trial proceedings, the defendant's ability to defend himself, his literacy, competency, understanding, and volition. State v. Bell, 381 So.2d 393 (La. 1980); City of Monroe v. Wyrick, 393 So.2d 1273 , (La.1981). The only evidence in the record of his waiver of the right to counsel is on the printed waiver form, which is not enough. State v. Deroche, 96-1376 (La.11/8/96); 682 So.2d 1251 .”
