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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The record shows that Marilyn April Walle, the defendant’s wife, was shot to death in their apartment in the Hamilton Hotel in Omaha, Nebraska, on September 1, 1966. Mrs. Walle was a dancer employed at the Roam Inn. She had given two performances on the evening preceding the murder and had returned to the hotel with the defendant at about 1:40 a. m. “Leona Forsberg, an employee of the Roam Inn and a friend of the deceased, testified that the defendant called her at about 3 a. m. on September 1, 1966, and asked her to come to the hotel. When she arrived at the hotel, the defendant told her that his wife was dead; that ‘ “I shot her” ’; and that ‘ <<->:- * jt wasn’t one shot; it was lots and lots of shots.” ’ Miss Fors berg then called the police and the defendant was arrested. “The defendant denied that he had shot his wife, but offered no explanation for the murder other than it must have occurred while he was absent from the apartment for about 5 minutes, or while he was bathing. * * *””
