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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The defendant attempts to distinguish the Seals case from the present case, in that ‘John Doe, alias’ was used in the former, but only ‘John Doe’ in the latter. He urges that without the ‘alias’, John Doe is to be considered the specific person in charge of the premises. It is a matter of common knowledge that when ‘John Doe’ is used in a search warrant, case report, textbook, or other legal document, it refers to an unknown or nonexistent person. The addition of the word ‘alias’ is not essential to convey this meaning.””
