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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Special Instruction “Ladies and Gentlemen, the Court has ruled, based upon legal arguments made outside your presence, that the in-toxilyzer test results of .10% in this case, normally, the concentration level of alcohol in the blood by weight which by statute gives rise to the presumption that the Defendant was under the influence of alcohol, shall not give rise to the presumption in this case because the margin of error of the intoxilyzer instrument utilized to measure the concentration by weight of alcohol in Mr. Prestier’s blood is such that it, the margin of error, could put Mr. Prestier’s actual blood alcohol concentration below the level necessary for the statutory presumption to be applicable in this case. “Thus, the intoxilyzer result in this case, normally sufficient to give rise to the statutory presumption, shall not give rise to any presumption that the Defendant was or was not under the influence of alcohol but such facts may be considered with other competent evidence in determining the guilt or lack of guilt of the Defendant.” (Emphasis added.)”
