Most-quoted passages

“slight inaccuracy in a record or an inconsequential omission from it which is immaterial to a proper determination of the appeal”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“A claim of ineffective assistance of counsel generally is more properly raised in an application for post-conviction relief than on appeal. State v. Hamilton, 92-2639 (La.7/1/97), 699 So.2d 29 , cert. denied, 522 U.S. 1124 , 118 S.Ct. 1070 , 140 L.Ed.2d 129 (1998). In post-conviction proceedings, the district judge can conduct a full evidentiary hearing on the matter. However, when the record contains evidence sufficient to decide the issue, the appellate court may consider the issue in the interests of judicial economy. See, e.g., State v. Ratcliff, 416 So.2d 528 (La.1982).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[A]n instruction equating reasonable doubt with `a serious doubt for which you could give a good reason' [is] not constitutionally infirm.”
