These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A failure to arraign the defendant or the fact that he did not plead, is waived if the defendant enters upon the trial without objecting thereto, and it shall be considered as if he had pleaded not guilty.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“A. An indictment that charges an offense in accordance with the provisions of this Title shall not be invalid or insufficient because of any defect or imperfection in, or omission of, any matter of form only, or because of any miswriting, misspelling, or improper English, or because of the use of any sign, symbol, figure, or abbreviation, or because of any similar defect, imperfection, omission, or uncertainty exists therein. The court may at any time cause the indictment to be amended in any respect to any such formal defect, imperfection, omission or uncertainty. RBefore the trial begins, the court may order an indictment amended with respect to a defect of substance. After the trial begins a mistrial shall be ordered on the ground of a defect of substance. Relating to the commencement of trial, La.C.Cr.P. art. 761 states: A jury trial commences when the first prospective juror is called for examination. A trial by a judge alone commences when the first witness is sworn.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. Lee“If the defendant in a habitual offender proceeding denies the allegations, the state bears the burden of proving the existence of prior guilty pleas and that the defendant was represented by counsel. If the state meets that burden, the defendant has the burden of producing affirmative evidence showing an infringement of his rights or a procedural irregularity. If the defense is able to meet its burden, the burden of proving the constitutionality of the plea shifts to the state, and the state will meet its burden if it introduces a `perfect transcript' of the guilty plea. If the state produces anything less, the trial judge must weigh the evidence submitted by the defendant and the state to determine whether the state met its burden of proving the guilty plea was informed and voluntary, and was made with an articulated waiver of the Boykin rights respecting trial by jury, confrontation of accusers and the privilege against self-incrimination.”
