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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a) No person shall drive, operate or have in actual physical control a vehicle, an off-highway vehicle, a moped or a bicycle while under the influence of alcohol or of any drug or any combination of drugs and/or alcohol. (b) Any person charged under subsection (a) of this section whose blood alcohol concentration is one tenth of 1% or more by weight as shown by a chemical analysis of a blood, breath or urine sample taken within 4 hours of the alleged offense shall be guilty of violating subsection (a) of this section. This provision shall not preclude a conviction based on other admissible evidence.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Lewis v. State · Brank v. State““The statute provides for no presumption of guilt, but instead provides that any person having the specified blood alcohol concentration ‘shall be guilty.’ To establish guilt, the State must prove only that the defendant was in physical control of the vehicle, and that a proper and timely test showed the required percentage of alcohol concentrated in the defendant’s system”.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Lewis v. State · State v. Rucker““In the ease before you, there was evidence of the results of a test admitted, which tended to indicate point one zero nine of one percent by weight of alcohol in the defendant’s blood. Under the statute I have just read to you, this evidence, if believed by you beyond a reasonable doubt, would constitute proof that the defendant was under the influence of intoxicating liquor, within the meaning of the statute prohibiting the driving of a motor vehicle while a person is in that condition.””
