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 56 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Unlike the cases involving merger based on a rapid succession of shots, the evidence in this case showed two distinct sets of shots separated by the victim's attempt to run away. Because the State used different evidence to prove the two crimes and showed that [the defendant] completed the aggravated assault before firing the three shots that caused [the victim's] death, we conclude that the trial court had authority to enter a separate judgment of conviction and sentence for the aggravated assault.”
