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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“That the Yarrs would never have expected the crime to occur was not relevant to Pierce's guilt, nor were the prosecutor's assertions about the Yarrs' future plans. Moreover, the argument invited the jury to imagine themselves in the Yarrs' shoes, increasing the prejudice.”
