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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Louisiana Supreme Court has held it is not essential that the State prove the defendant’s action was the sole cause of the victim’s death. In a case involving charges of negligent homicide arising from a “drag racing” accident, the supreme court found the proper test is whether the defendant’s conduct was a substantial factor in bringing about the ensuing death.” State v. Martin, 539 So.2d 1235, 1239 (La.1989), citing State v. Matthews, 450 So.2d 644, 646 (La.1984).”
