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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We are constrained to hold that the district court did not state any reasons for making the sentences consecutive. To be sure, the record would support consecutive sentences, but there are also countervailing considerations. The offenses were obviously part of a single act or transaction. [The defendant] was relatively youthful, at 21 years old, and had no history of crimes of violence and no other felonies. The record does not disclose his potential for rehabilitation. ⅞ Hi * The court’s failure to state any reasons for imposing consecutive sentences requires us to vacate the sentences and remand the cases for resentencing in accord with [LSA-C.Cr.P.] Arts. 881 and 894.1.”
