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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Animosities existed between defendant Julie Ishaq and Celia Vela, who resided at the above residence. Julie Ishaq formed a plan to shoot up the Vela house. Ishaq enlisted the help of her boyfriend, defendant Locklear, and defendant Rodgers. In the early morning hours of January 2, 1999, the three defendants obtained a .12 gauge shotgun and .30-30 caliber rifle, with ammunition for both weapons. With Ishaq driving her car, the three defendants set out for the area of town where the Velas live. None of the three defendants live anywhere near the Vela residence. The three defendants went to that part of town for the express purpose of executing the planned shooting.”

St. in Tacoma, Washington. While they were sleeping, several shots were fired into their residence. The ammunition penetrated the house in several different places, traveling through rooms which included the living room and a bedroom. All nine members of the Vela family were at substantial risk [of] serious injury from the shots that were fired. Police responded and recovered two expended 12 gauge shotgun shells, and two expended.30-.30 caliber casings. Two people ran from the scene after the shots were fired.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Locklear“lacks a specific meaning in Washington law. Sometimes, it seems to mean a few feet or yards. [9] Other times, it seems to mean many miles. [10] As used in the context of RCW 9A.36.045, it seems to mean more the former than the latter, for it is used in the same breath as the inside of a car. For today, however, it is enough to note that a person of common intelligence would have no way of knowing, without guessing, whether a citizen who discharges a gun two blocks away from a motor vehicle is discharging the gun”
