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.
“Representation of more than one defendant by the same attorney does not violate federal or state constitutional rights to adequate legal assistance unless such representation gives rise to a conflict of interest. State v. Kahey, 436 So.2d 475 (La.1983). When there has been no objection to the multiple representation prior to or during trial, the defendant must show that an actual conflict of interest adversely affected his attorney's performance in order to establish a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. Cuyler v. Sullivan, 446 U.S. 335 , 100 S.Ct. 1708 , 64 L.Ed.2d 333 (1980); State v. Lobato, 603 So.2d 739 (La.1992). That is, the defendant must prove both an actual conflict of interest and prejudice. State v. Montegut, 618 So.2d 883 (La.App. 4 Cir.), writ denied, 626 So.2d 1177 (La.1993). An actual conflict exists if the defense attorney owes duties to a party whose interests are adverse to those of the defendant. The interests of the other party and the defendant are sufficiently adverse if it is shown that the attorney owes a duty to the defendant to take some action that could be detrimental to his other client. Appellants argue that if they had been represented by different counsel, counsel for Celestine could have argued that she only resided there, and that it was Causey who was involved in the sale of cocaine hidden from view. As to the cocaine in plain view, she could have argued that Causey had just placed it there, and she did not know about it. Of course,”
