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

  1. “All property ... [u]sed or intended to be used in any manner to facilitate conduct giving rise to forfeiture, provided that a conveyance subject to forfeiture solely in connection with conduct in violation of R.S. 40:961 et seq. may be forfeited only pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter.”

  2. “In the federal system where probable cause for forfeiture is also the relevant inquiry, “probable cause” has been defined as a “reasonable ground for belief of guilt, supported by less than prima facie proof but more than mere suspicion.” “It may be established by demonstrating ‘by some credible evidence, the probability that the money was in fact drug related.’ ” Probable cause can be established by circumstantial evidence or evidence that would be inadmissible at trial, so long as the evidence is reliable. Though this probable cause burden and the permissible evidence required to meet the burden amount to something less than the burden of proof in an ordinary civil proceeding, the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal has recognized that as to the issue of the connexity of the property to the crime, the government’s burden requires “probable cause for belief that a substantial connection exists.” (Citations omitted).”
