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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) [w]ith the purpose of causing physical injury to another person, he causes serious physical injury to any person; (2) [w]ith the purpose of causing physical injury to another person, he causes physical injury to any person by means of a deadly weapon other than a firearm; (3) [h]e recklessly causes serious physical injury to another person by means of a deadly weapon; or (4) [h]e intentionally or knowingly, without legal justification, causes physical injury to one he knows to be [an officer, a firefighter, a correctional facility employee, a school employee, an elderly person, a young child, a ■ state employee, a health-care provider, or mentally incompetent].”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“We cannot say as a matter of law, that a fact question did not exist as to whether the victim’s injuries constituted a “protracted impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ.” Webster’s Third New International Dictionary defines “protract” as “to continue, prolong, lengthen in time.” It was for the jury to resolve the issue as to whether the injuries constituted a temporary or protracted impairment.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Lum v. State“It is well established that a directed verdict is only proper where there are no factual issues to be determined by the jury and on appeal, the evidence will be reviewed in the light most favorable to the appellee and the judgment will be affirmed if there is any substantial evidence to support it. Munn v. State, 257 Ark. 1057 , 521 S.W.2d 535 (1975).”
