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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A defendant's right to demonstrate facts and circumstances which might influence the witness's perceptions or color his testimony, thereby lessening the weight the fact-finder might accord his testimony, is guaranteed in both state and federal criminal proceedings and is an important function of the right to confront and cross-examine.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Williams · State v. Hugle“hope or knowledge that he will receive leniency from the state is highly relevant to establish his bias or interest.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“This Court has long required a narrowing construction, requiring that there must exist elements of torture, pitiless infliction of unnecessary pain or serious bodily abuse prior to death to support this aggravating circumstance. State v. Brogdon, 457 So.2d 616, 630 (La.1984), cert. denied, 471 U.S. 1111 , 105 S.Ct. 2345 , 85 L.Ed.2d 862 (1985); State v. Sawyer, 422 So.2d 95, 101 (La.1982); State v. Sonnier, 402 So.2d 650, 659 (La.1981), cert. denied, 463 U.S. 1229 , 103 S.Ct. 3571 , 77 L.Ed.2d 1412 (1983). Further, the murder must be one in which the death was particularly painful and carried out in an inhuman manner. State v. Baldwin, 388 So.2d 664, 677 (La.1980). A finding that the wounds were inflicted to kill, not to maim or inflict pain, may but does not necessarily preclude a finding that the murder was especially heinous, atrocious or cruel. State v. Tassin, 536 So.2d 402, 411 (La. 1988).”
