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.
“the district attorney ... is afforded absolute immunity .... [T]he claim that the district attorney failed to set [the] arraignment within the thirty-day time frame provided by LSA-C.Cr.P. art. 701(C), is clearly an action that occurred after his indictment, and in connection with judicial proceedings, as opposed to administrative or investigative functions.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“improper acts by the district attorney[,] undertaken by a prosecutor in preparing for the initiation of judicial proceedings or for trial, and which occur[ed] in the course of his role as an advocate for the state, are entitled to prosecutorial immunity that has been termed absolute.”
