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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Mr. Vollm, Article 894.1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure... is ... provides the sentencing guidelines. One of the chief things that is going on in this court's opinion is that number (3) ... it's A ... Section A(3), a lesser sentence will deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's crime. Sir ... is ... I listened to heartfelt statements from the two officers involved. Is ... the court will note that an attack on a police officer is a blow at the very fabric of our society. It is a blow against the established border of all that stands between us and anarchy. Is ... you shot and attempted to kill and came very close to murdering two police officers who were doing nothing more than their job, and, in fact, trying to be nice to you. Is ... you rewarded their efforts by shooting them. One, shot him in the back. The other one, you almost nearly killed Deputy Chandler. Is... accordingly, I am taking into consideration the fact that you used a weapon, a violent offense, the seriousness of the offense. I am also taking into account your record, which has no serious convictions on it. If you had a previous felony conviction, Mr. Vollm, I would be sentencing you to a total of, I believe it's 135 years that you could be, that you could be serving. However, for each charge of attempted murder in the first degree, I sentence you to 32 years at hard labor without benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence and no good time. Those sentences are consecutive.”
