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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

[G]iving great weight to the presumption against limited scienter , and considering the consequences of guilt of a felony with limited intent the Court concludes that 'knowingly' applies to the element of leaving the scene of an accident as well as to knowledge of the accident.”
