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 70 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

3. “Here, the Missouri Supreme Court found that the peremptory strike "was based” upon the several race-neutral reasons given by the prosecutor. That decision, as in Darden , is equivalent to a finding (and necessarily implies) that the prosecutor would have exercised the strike even if he hadn’t expressed a facially discriminatory motive. Thus, we find no "unreasonable” error in the Missouri Supreme Court’s factual determination.”
