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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Nevertheless, rather than engage in hairsplitting analysis and essentially swearing contests which pit judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys and jury commissioners against each other, in an effort to determine the possible date on which a jury trial could have been conducted in the Orleans Parish Criminal District Court, the better course of conduct would be to establish a date which takes into account the circumstances present at the Criminal District Court. That date we find to be June 5, 2006, the day on which the first criminal jury trial actually occurred after Hurricane Katrina. Therefore, we find the interruption caused by Hurricane Katrina ceased to exist at that time and the State of Louisiana had one year or until June 5, 2007 to bring Ms. Hamilton to trial. See La. C.Cr.P. art. 583.”
