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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Notwithstanding that the calls may have had harassing effect, ... nothing in the evidence furnished a reasonable basis .for concluding that the defendant was not motivated at least in part by a desire to reestablish a relationship with the woman. While the evidence admits of a finding that a desire to harass may have been part of the defendant’s objective in calling the woman eleven times in seven minutes, it does not support the conclusion that such was his sole purpose.”
