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

1. “THE COURT: Go ahead and be seated. We are back on the record to go over instructions. I gave counsel a copy of the proposed instructions, and we’ll go over the one that Mr. Collins asked to change, but does the State have any objections as proposed? MR. CRUZ: No, Your Honor. Thank you. THE COURT: Mr. Collins, any objections or exceptions on the instructions? MR. COLLINS: No, Your Honor. THE COURT: And for the record, counsel and I met in chambers. The instruction that states a person commits the crime of burglary in the first degree when he or she enters or remains unlawfully in a building with the intent to commit a crime against a person or property therein and if in entering or while in the building or in immediate flight therefrom, that person assaults any person, the Court did take out the “or an accomplice,” which was included originally in that instruction since that fits the facts in this case. So, Counsel, just for the record, I’m going to go through and tell you how I numbered them so you can know which numbers they are.”
