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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the instant case defendant, according to the State’s witnesses, placed a .38 caliber revolver against Smith’s chest and threatened to kill him. The ordinary victim in such a predicament would instantly be placed in fear of bodily harm or death, and this reaction would be 'well founded’ whether the gun was loaded or not. Thus, based upon all of the above, we hold that defendant’s first contention lacks merit.” State v. Drayton, 114 N.J.Super. 490 , 277 A.2d 398, 400 (1971). State v. McGhee, 184 Neb. 352 , 167 N.W.2d 765 (1969). But see also United States v. Davis, 429 F.2d 552 (8th Cir. 1970) and Annotation, 79 A.L. R.2d 1412.”
