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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If, under Head , there was no requirement that that count charging [Wells] only with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon be tried separately, it necessarily follows that there was no requirement that the alternative count charging [him] with felony murder be tried separately.”
