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

1. “The State notes Picot did not file any written objections to the multiple bill. However, any written objections would necessarily go to the sufficiency of the State's evidence to prove the prior conviction. Picot would have no way of knowing prior to the hearing that the State would fail to present any evidence to prove identity. Because the State failed to present any evidence of identity, and Picot specifically noted he was not admitting his identity, the State failed to meet its burden at the multiple bill hearing. As noted by this court's decision in State v. Henry, 96-1280 p. 7 (La. 4 Cir. 3/11/98), 709 So.2d 322 , 325-26: "To obtain a multiple offender conviction, the State is required to establish both the prior felony conviction and that the defendant is the same person convicted of that felony. State v. Hawthorne, 580 So.2d 1131 (La.App. 4th Cir. 1991)." See also La. R.S. 15:529.1; State v. Brown, 514 So.2d 99 (La.1987).”
