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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A person violates this statute if he intentionally, without legal excuse or justification, discharges a firearm into an occupied building with knowledge that the building is then occupied by one or more persons or when he has reasonable grounds to believe that the building might be occupied by one or more persons.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“While medical expenses, which represent a financial burden on the victim, may be considered as a non-statutory factor in aggravation, ... we find that they may not be so used unless they are excessive and go beyond that normally incurred from an assault of this type.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Pender“Since the purpose of the statute prohibiting discharge of a firearm into a building is the protection of the occupant(s) of a building, any person located in the target building is a victim of this offense.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Spikes
