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.
“From all the Commonwealth’s evidence, the jury reasonably could have inferred that [Stewart] and Good had been driving up and down Cambridge Street looking for Perry so Good could shoot him; ... and that [Stewart] deliberately parked on a side street near Cambridge Street, and around the comer from where Perry was soon to pass, in order to facilitate a speedy escape after the murder. [and] that [Stewart’s] intent to assist was further shown by evidence that Good ran directly to [Stewart’s] automobile after the shooting, that without any hesitation or conversation, [Stewart] immediately pulled away and sped up the street at a high rate of speed; and that [Stewart] subsequently covered Good’s escape by lying to the police.”
