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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“For purposes of the forgery statute, “writing” means “money ... ”. La. R.S. 14:72 C(2)(b). An essential ingredient to the crime of forgery is the specific intent to defraud. State v. Wade, 375 So.2d 97 (La.1979); State v. Jackson, 258 La. 632 , 247 So.2d 558 (1971); State v. Durham, 32-154 (La.App. 2 Cir. 8/20/99) , 748 So.2d 1 . Specific intent is defined as that “state of mind which exists when the circumstances indicate that the offender actively desired the prescribed criminal consequences to follow his act or failure to act.” La. R.S. 14:10(1). See also State v. Hebert, 2000-1052 (La.App. 4 Cir. 4/11/01) , 787 So.2d 1041, 1050 ; State v. Hall, 98-0667 (La.App. 4 Cir. 12/22/99) , 750 So.2d 1105 . Specific intent need not be proven as fact, but may be inferred from the circumstances and actions of the defendant. State v. Ricard, 98-2278, 99-0424 (La.App. 4 Cir. 1/19/00) , 751 So.2d 393 , writ denied, Richard v. State, 2000-0855 (La.12/8/00), 775 So.2d 1078 .”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“A. Any person who, having a specific intent to commit a crime, does or omits an act for the purpose of and tending directly toward the accomplishing of his object is guilty of an attempt to commit the offense intended; and it shall be immaterial whether, under the circumstances, he would have actually accomplished his purpose. j * ⅜ C. An attempt is a separate but lesser grade of the intended crime; and any person may be convicted of an attempt to commit a crime, although it appears on the trial that the crime intended or attempted was actually perpetrated by such person in pursuance of such attempt.”
