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.
“Code of Criminal Procedure Article 706 prohibits the consolidation of separate indictments for trial without the consent of the affected defendants. Designating the act of consolidation as one of amending does not remove the joinder from the strictures of article 706.

See La.Code Crim. P. art. 706, Official Revision Comment b.”
