30 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Griffin · State v. Guidry“Considering the input from the defendant, the Pre-Sentence Investigation, and the guidelines set forth by Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure Article 894.1, and other applicable sentencing statutes . . . the Court notes the following factors pertinent to this sentence. The defendant is a first time felony offender. . . . Also, the defendant was arrested for aggravated assault, as indicated by his Counsel, on July 7, 2005, where it was alleged that the defendant possessed a weapon, a gun, and he pointed it at other individuals. Accordingly, there is an undue risk that during a period of a suspended sentence or probation, the defendant would commit another crime. The defendant is in need of correctional treatment or a custodial environment that can be provided most effectively by his commitment to an institution. A lesser sentence would deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's crime. There are no mitigating circumstances and no remorse. In fact, the defendant, even at this time, indicates that certain things were or were not done and still professes, I guess, his innocence in respect to what he has indicated to the Court.”
