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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although, in State v. Dorthey, supra , the Louisiana Supreme Court stated that courts have the power to declare a mandatory minimum sentence excessive under Article I, Section 20 of the Louisiana Constitution, this power should only be exercised in rare cases and only when the court is firmly convinced that the minimum sentence is excessive. State v. Johnson, 97-1906 (La.03/04/98), 709 So.2d 672 ; State v. Bush, 31,710 (La. App.2d Cir.02/24/99), 733 So.2d 49 , writ denied, 99-1010 (La.09/03/99), 747 So.2d 536 .”
