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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We are unimpressed with the fact that sexual intercourse did not occur under the facts of this case. The list of prohibited acts under La. R.S. 78.1 B includes not only sexual intercourse, but sexual battery, indecent behavior with a juvenile, and lewd fondling and touching as well. Because the statute in no way grades the offenses, we believe that the legislature intended to recognize each prohibited act as equally egregious. Wall is a mature adult who intentionally abused a position of trust and responsibility without regard to the lifelong harm he would cause to the two victims of his perverted, abhorrent desires. He committed these lewd, lascivious and socially repulsive acts of sexual abuse upon the minor victims repeatedly, over a lengthy period of time, and exhibited no remorse for the offenses. He obtained a substantial benefit from his plea bargain, which reduced his sentencing exposure by half. There is no excuse or justification for Wall's criminal conduct.”
