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.
“defense counsel argued in closing that the case was ‘not about [whether Victim] was killed, or whether it was cool reflection if he was killed, it was whether there was an agreement’ between [Mov-ant] and [Mr.] Henderson. [Movant] did not contest the element of deliberation, or ‘cool reflection’ as it is defined by statute and instruction. Rather, he denied that he participated in the crime at all.”
