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 80 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“1. The defendant discharged a firearm at a car full of people; 2. The defendant's act caused the death of Sunni Reza; 3. The act of the defendant was greatly dangerous to the lives of others, indicating a depraved mind without regard for human life; 4. The defendant knew that his act was greatly dangerous to the lives of others; 5. The defendant did not act in self-defense or defense of another; 6. This happened in New Mexico on or about the 31[st] day of May, 2013. A person acts with a depraved mind by intentionally engaging in outrageously reckless conduct with a depraved kind of wantonness or total indifference for the value of human life. Mere negligence or recklessness is not enough. In addition, the defendant must have a corrupt, perverted, or malicious state of mind, such as when a person acts with ill will, hatred, spite, or evil intent. Whether a person acted with a depraved mind may be inferred from all the facts and circumstances of the case.”
