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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Defendant testified, however, that he received a call from someone named Roy and went to Blakely’s house to pick up money Taylor owed him from a drug deal. Blakely told defendant that Taylor had just left, and had money and a pistol. Defendant borrowed Blakely’s gun and held it visible in his hand as he walked towards Taylor, though defendant said it was at his side. Taylor walked towards defendant and told him he had no money. Defendant told Thomas to watch Branham and to hold him. As Taylor approached, defendant thought he was reaching for a gun and was going to shoot defendant, so he fired two shots. Taylor’s gun fell to the ground. Defendant fired two more shots in the air. He then picked up and kept Taylor’s gun.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Thomas concluded that defendant was going to rob them [i.e. Taylor and Bran-ham]. Defendant called for Taylor and Branham to “come here” and then told Thomas to grab Branham. Defendant pulled out the gun and fired two shots at Taylor and two or three shots at Bran-ham as he ran away.... Thomas saw no weapons on Taylor or Branham at any time, nor did they make any threatening gestures towards defendant. According to Thomas’ testimony, defendant later told Thomas that he shot the wrong person and would not get paid. Bran-ham’s description of the shooting was similar to Thomas’, and Branham indicated that he and Taylor had talked to Blakely about selling drugs a short time before the shooting.”
