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.

1. “A videotape, which is like a photograph, is neither testimony nor written evidence and is not excluded by [ Article 793 ]. A photograph is a reproduction of a physical object or scene. It is not "written" evidence of "testimony" within the meaning of [ Article 793 ], which prohibits the use of written material during deliberations. Hence, a jury's request to see a videotape after it retired to deliberate ... is not an abuse of the court's statutory discretion." See State v. Overton, 337 So.2d 1058 (La. 1976).”
