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.

1. ““[T]he record in this- case does not establish that bias and prejudice permeated the Mobile community at the time of Luong’s trial. Although the facts surrounding the offenses in this ease are inflammatory, no evidence indicates that the community demanded Luong’s arrest or that an underlying bias against Luong existed at the time of trial.””

2. “[I]n light of the facts of this case, in particular Luong's admission that he threw each of his children off the bridge, the fact that Luong was not acquitted of any of the charged offenses does not either support or rebut a presumption of jury bias or impartiality.”
