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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“whether the prosecutor’s explanation [within the record] for his peremptory challenge of Askew was race-neutral. If the trial court finds that the prosecutor’s explanation [within the record] was not race-neutral, [defendant] is entitled to a new trial. If the trial court finds that the prosecutor’s explanation for his peremptory challenge was race-neutral, [defendant] shall be given an opportunity to demonstrate that the explanation was a mere pretext. If [defendant] meets his ultimate burden of proving purposeful discrimination, he is entitled to a new trial. If not, the trial court will order commitment to issue in accordance with the judgment appealed from and entered on 12 July 1990.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“And as far as — my impression — my impression when I came up there, it was my impression there was a black juror and a white— and a white juror left in the jury panel and there was not a black female or a female at all left. I was trying to determine who — who was left. I had three left and two were — two were men and one was a woman, and I had— and apparently there were two women and one men — one man. And I had it backwards, and that’s what I was trying to determine who was left as best I could.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The prosecutor’s statement may have adequately explained the meaning of his question [if “there was a white male out there”], but the trial court should have considered the statement, not for whether the defendant made a prima facie showing, but for whether the prosecutor adequately rebutted the [defendant’s] prima facie showing.”
