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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary defines “strangulation” as “1: the action or process of strangling or strangulating[;[ 2: the state of being strangled or strangulated; [especially]: excessive or pathological constriction or compression of a bodily tube (as a blood vessel or a loop of intestine) that interrupts its ability to act as a passage.” Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary 1164 (9th ed.1991). “Strangle” is defined as “la: to choke to death by compressing the throat with something (as a hand or rope): THROTTLE[;] b: to obstruct seriously or fatally the normal breathing of... [;] c: STIFLE[.]” Id.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[W]e hold that the voice mail message ... is the only incident from which the jury could have found that defendant committed the offense of intimidating a witness. Defendant’s strong and harsh language, coupled with the evidence of their volatile and violent relationship, constituted sufficient evidence such that a reasonable mind could find the message to be threatening. Russell’s testimony that defendant told her “at least ten” times not to testify is not sufficient to show that defendant threatened her in any way[.]”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““encouraged Russell to dismiss the charges against him, to not show up in court, and to write an affidavit to the District Attorney saying that she made everything up and that the charges were false. Defendant specifically instructed Russell as to what to include in the affidavit, and that it must state that he did not choke her and that he never intimidated her.”
