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.
“The exact identity of the controlled dangerous substance determines what the maximum authorized sentence is under La.R.S. 40:967(B), |aand is an essential element of the crime of distribution thereof.... When a defendant is charged with distribution of a controlled dangerous substance, he cannot be compelled or required to defend himself against all of the named drugs classified in the Schedules as controlled dangerous substances. The charge must list a specific drug, and the evidence must establish that this specific drug was present. To allow otherwise would violate defendant’s constitutional right to be informed of the nature and cause of the charges against him. La. Const, of 1974, Art. I, § 13.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“It is well established in our law that when a defendant raises the issue of sufficiency of evidence on appeal, the reviewing court must review the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution and determine whether any rational trier of fact could have found all of the critical elements of the offense proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 , 99 S.Ct. 2781 , 61 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979); see also State v. Ordodi, 06-207, (La.11/29/06), 946 So.2d 654 .”
