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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The jury also heard testimony from police, [Division of Narcotics Enforcement (DNE) ] officers, and [the defendant]'s family members indicating that he was heavily involved in the manufacture of methamphetamine. Police and DNE officers testified to the large amount of evidence gathered at [the defendant]'s residence that was consistent with the production of methamphetamine manufacturing, including cans of engine starting fluid, muriatic acid, liquid propane tanks, lithium camera batteries, crushed pseudoephedrine, rags smelling of anhydrous ammonia, scales, plastic baggies, and the sludge-like substance containing trace amounts of methamphetamine. The jury heard [the defendant]'s half[-]sister testify about suspicious objects she had seen in his lab, including a couple of bags of white powder, coffee filters[,] and the apple juice jar, and [the defendant]'s former wife testified that she had smelled chemicals coming from the basement and had seen coffee filters and a blender with white powder.”

Mealor“The combined effect of [the expert]'s particularized testimony and the strong and detailed circumstantial evidence linking [the defendant] to the manufacture of methamphetamine were enough for the jury to conclude that [the expert]'s calculations were an accurate estimate of [the defendant]'s manufacturing capabilities.”

Mealor“The particularized nature of [the expert]'s testimony, combined with additional evidence suggesting that [the defendant] was experienced in the manufacture of methamphetamine, were sufficient for a jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt that [the defendant] was a good cook capable of producing a 40 to 50 percent yield.”
