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.

“As with any other statute, where the language of a statutory defense is clear, its plain language is to be applied as written. . . . Applying the statute as written, we hold that RCW 9A.52.090(1)’s abandonment defense is not available regarding Jensen’s charged offense of second degree burglary.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Widell held only that when a defendant sufficiently asserts one of the statutory defenses to criminal trespass, the burden to disprove the defense falls on the State. . . . Nothing in Widell suggests that expansion of those statutory defenses to other crimes is warranted.”
