Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Y]ou will find the defendant, Princess Carver, guilty under this Instruction if, and only if, you believe from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, all of the following: (A) That in this county, between the 10th day of June, 2005, and the 13th day of June, 2005, the defendant recklessly caused a physical injury to A.H. ... by shaking him and/or inflicting blunt force trauma; AND (B) The defendant’s hands and/or a blunt object was a dangerous instrument as defined under Instruction No. 11[.]”
